[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2858840, member: 25831"] Simple answer is yes, it will change. How much depends on many things. May be alot, may be a little. With the shortages in components and the amounts used in the PRC and even in my own cartridges, I do load development with virgin cases. Once I have what is good for me, I will load all remaing virgin cases and shoot those until fireformed. Most of my guns are for hunting so sometimes is may take a bit to get through them all. Once all are firmformed, I drop the charge just a touch and revisit, basically just to re-confirm. You probably will see a slight increase in velocity as the case have "grown". In some cases (300 WM or other belted cases) I have seen quite a bit and had to drop down a few grains to find the happy place. Virgin cases ccan hide pressure as they are not yet at chamber capacity. [/QUOTE]
