In reading Glen Zedikers book on Competition reloading, he points out to not fire a batch of NEW brass at different load weights. For example your first shot should not be you 200 yd load if you are then going to reload it again for 600 yd load. This would not be so hard if I already had my load development done but when using new brass with a new caliber or BULLET/powder combo it seems unrealistic to load 50 -100 pieces of brass for a load I don’t know will even be accurate just so the initial firing is consistent.
I would like to think I could use the new brass on its first firing to do initial ladder work for load development. I am not a benchrest shooter but still only find an accurate gun interesting. How do you guys handle the first firing of a new batch of brass?
