Hey guys. I'm getting ready to pop my cherry on finding a precision load for my 308 bolt gun. I have some brass that was factory ammo that I shot through my gun (fireformed is the correct term I do believe). I then took a measurement with my headspace gauge. My virgin Lapua brass is .01 shorter than the fire formed brass. Should I just go ahead and load the brass to find my appropriate load, or should I fireform the Lapua brass first with a weaker load, FL resize, then do my OCW test?
Also, will there be correct neck tension with the Virgin brass? I am using the bushing style FL resizer die.
