So I've developed a decent load for my 300 Rum with Nosler brass but my brass developed donuts and primer pockets are getting loose. So I ordered some ADG brass for it.
I know the ADG brass will probably be thicker and less H20 capacity, so it'll probably use less powder to get same pressure/velocity.
Here's my question, should I start load development all the way over or just load a grain under my existing load? Should I try to match velocity of my existing load? What do you do when changing brass?
I'm thinking I should load 3 rounds at 0.5 less than existing load, then existing load, then 3 rounds 0.5 grains over existing load.
My existing load is 2.5 grains less than max pressure when using Nosler brass.
Thoughts?
