[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2792343, member: 123604"] It depends on how much brass you have. If you have 200 pieces of brass it makes sense to fire it all before really worrying about fine tuning your load. You need to get some rounds down the barrel so it settles down anyway. I buy 500-1000 pieces of brass for every gun. If I wait until I fire it l I might burn 1/3 of my barrel life before I start load development, not to mention the hundreds of dollars in components that would cost me. I find a good load with my new brass and tweak it tweak it as needed with each new batch. I usually find I need to make small changes every 500-1000 rounds anyway, regardless of whether the brass has been fired one time or ten. [/QUOTE]
