New vs fired brass for hunting

[Sinistram]

In my experience, yes, you can hunt with new brass just fine. Think factory ammo...works fine and no one says anything.

Now, the only time I'd be a stickler for fired, formed brass is on a hunt with really small targets. For woodchucks and predators, I prefer at least 1x fired brass for that extra measure of consistency and accuracy.

Thanks guys


My mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me, but only when she was hung over

Zeroed out the kids rifle today. Used fired brass that had one or two firings. Set zero angle and all that stuff. Used the large sample size method.
Just loaded up some more of the same stuff using new brass.

Is there a noticeable difference between new and old brass? Like in speed or group size? In large sample size?

Would she be fine to hunt with the new brass ammo? I'm guessing yes. But my mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me... but only when she was hung over...

Add me to the fire formed team for shots that matter. I've seen higher SDs and generally lower velocity from virgin brass.
