So I got 100 rounds of new brass last year for the hunting rig. I ran them through my FL die, trimmed the cases to spec and loaded them up and found a good load that shoots well out of my gun. I'm about through the new brass and will load up my first batch of "once fired" brass soon. They will be ran though the FL die again and loaded up with the same load I have found to work the best in my gun. To you guys that have done this before, have you seen much fluctuation in fps? Considering I ran the new brass through the FL die before loading, I would think it should be pretty close with the new brass fps vs once fired fps.
Also, is case trimming again after running the brass through the FL die necessary the second time around? I plan on doing everything exactly the same as the first load process, but not sure if it's necessary. This is a hunting rifle so these next 100 rounds will last me quite a while, so I'm not concerned whether or not I get 10-15 reloads out of the brass. Just looking for opinions from more experienced reloaders.
