[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2599666, member: 78569"] A couple thoughts. - If you already have high end brass, why buy factory ammo with different brass? Mixing brass isn't the best accuracy combination - For break in, it doesn't matter what you shoot down the barrel - Fireforming the brass you intend to reload has value - Factory ammo is more expensive so why burn up the expensive stuff? On new barrels, I recommend doing pressure workups with bullet and powder combinations to get the brass fire formed and the barrel broken in. If you have 100 pieces of brass and a couple of bullets and powders to try, that could get the 100 cases fire formed. [/QUOTE]
