The gun being loaded for is a Rem 700 in .243 Win. I will be using a FL sizing die to bump the shoulder back of fired brass a few thousandths.
After testing some loads in brand new Nosler brass (and finding some loads that performed REALLY well) it made me wonder if I was now going to have to re-go-through the load development process now that I have brass that is fireformed to my chamber.
So - when people here have talked of the benefits of doing minimal sizing after firing, is the root objective to maximize brass life? Or is there an expectation that accuracy can be improved with fireformed brass that gets a minimal shoulder bump? If an expectation is improved accuracy, that potentially tells me I may want to go through the load development process again with the fireformed brass?
Thanks.
