I copy this exactly.

However, don’t stress yourself out if you mix a batch of once fired and twice fired. You more than likely won’t even see it on the target.

Now that I stopped annealing, it really matters even less. But I still keep track of firings to a decent extent and try to prep them in batches.

Agreed. And 6x versus 7x fired, etc really doesn’t matter when you’re using high quality brass that’ll go way over 10 firings.

I try to organize my reloading and shooting flow so that all brass from the same lot has the same amount of firings on it.

If you buy 200 rounds of brass, I shoot them all u tim they’re once fired and then try to keep them all on the same round of firings, so your trimming schedule, annealing, and discarding when necessary schedules are all the same.

Just makes it easier in the long run since my brain only has room for like 3 things at one time.

Ok thanks. That is what I currently do. But I didnt know if I was wasting my time.

Next test showed up last night. Going to try 43gr. H4350.




Also ordered my own .120 freebore Alpha reamer. I’m really liking this cartridge and want all my future barrels to be as identical as possible.

The only real issue taking way a once fired and a 5 times fired case and putting them through the same die, is possible difference in headspace from work hardened brass. Not uncommon to need to adjust a die when not annealing once you get around 4-5 firings. And with enough brass, and lower number of firings it’s miniscule.

The only way to tell if it will affect accuracy or velocity is to check.

You might try varget also if you have any. It gave me way more velocity than h4350 with the 62 eld vts.
Having your own reamer is the way to go.

Varget was money with the 62 ELDVT. 3654 out of my 22” barrel.

Dang! I don’t have any varget on hand. But if they look promising with H4350 I may just grab some!

I’ve heard mixed reviews on the eldvts on coyotes. Seems like a lot of guys reporting them to be “too splashy” at high speeds and not putting coyotes down.
