[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2884955, member: 87887"] I usually do seating depth test with my virgin brass. If building/buying a new rifle, I've found I can find an accurate load with virgin brass if I want to "fire form" a couple cases while hunting. Load will change with formed cases. Otherwise I will develop a load with once fired brass. I haven't noticed a great deal of change in load after once fired. Then I will use a few of the virgin loads to foul the bore after a thorough cleaning. I have a factory Remington 700 SPS that takes about 10 shots to really stabilize the bore after cleaning to bare metal. You can always shoot a few during your range sessions and you will eventually fife form it all. [/QUOTE]
