Hi Guys,

Quick question:

If you full length resize, do you use new or used (maybe once fired) brass for your most accurate loads. Are there any benefits to using fired brass if you full length resize anyway?

Cheers

If you full lenth resize you take the case to minimum dimentions and overwork the brass. Try partial full length resizing of your fired brass and see if you don't see an improvement in accuracy along with longer case life.

i like once fired brass. usually from my friends it is free. I F/L size, check, clean and load. it dont matter what brand i get for hunting. Some brass i have to get new. like me .260 Rem.

I don't have any accuracy issues yet. My last load in .338wm gave me 1/2" @ 100m. I loaded previously fired Winchester cases which I have full length sized. I have a batch of new Winchester brass and was just wondering whether it will have any effect on the loads performance.

Just make sure the necks have no flat spots.
And be sure to chamber them in your rifle,if they go in,load-em and go shoot -em.
