I have had .308's shoot unfired brass loaded with a given charge of Varget shoot into 1-1.25".
Then took those same cases, neck sized them, reloaded them with the same charge of Varget & seating depth/bullet etc. The resulting groups were sub 1/2" consistantly!
Then I have had rifles that defied that and shot VERY CLOSE to the same 1/2" groups "WITHOUT" fire forming yet.
Upon reloading those cases for that rifle, it was harder to beat the groups with unfired cases. Its a crap shoot that way.
I "tend" to get better accuracy with fire formed and neck sized cases. About 98% of the time.
So you make Your own conclusions on my experiences.
Now if you sort/uniform the primer pockets/flash holes/case length/case weight/neck thickness/fire form/and neck size, you will see an improvement again! But it winds up being ALLOT of work!
It all depends what your goals are. Thats what my standard brass preperations are. I do it to nearly all my rifles. A bit "OCD" maybe, but very rewarding on the paper & target/game animals!
