[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1078572, member: 59502"] One reason I will buy once fire brass for belted magnums is that it saves fire forming. The heaspace measurement to the datum line grows at least .025" from virgin brass (on belted magnums). That's a lot of capacity gain. So I can never get complete load development until it is fire formed. That's why I keep my old factory Savage belted magnum barrels for fire forming. I will measure the primer pockets. If the inside diameter is .208 or less for large rifle I'm pretty confident it's once fired. If there is sizing marks you can cut one in half length wise to see for sure that there isn't thinning above the case head. [/QUOTE]
