[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2859507, member: 69478"] I wanted to add, if this is a hunting rifle and you only plan to have ~100 pieces of brass for it, then I’d develop the load after it’s once fired, as I previously said. However, if this is a competition rifle, colony Varmint rifle, or just something you have 300+ pieces of brass for, then I’d develop a load for the virgin brass then retune the load with fired brass. I just don’t see the point in developing a load for virgin brass when you have 100 pieces or less. By the time you get done with load development you’ll only have 50 or less pieces of virgin brass then you have to start all over again when it’s all been fired. New brass can shoot very well and I by no means am saying you can’t have a great load with virgin brass. I just prefer to do things the most efficient way I find with less headaches along the way.
