I recently bought some 3-4 times fired Lapua 308 brass to use for the first time in my Savage Model 10. Today's range trip included about half of the rounds loaded in them and the other half in some once fired Federal cases. Brass prep was identical and load and bullet were the same. 168gr A-Max over 42gr IMR4064. I was expecting them to shoot the same but I was somewhat surprised in that I was maintaining 0.5 to 1 MOA groups with the Lapua rounds and 1 to 1-3/4 MOA groups with the Federal rounds. Each group was five rounds and I shot four groups with each.
Are results like this to be expected? Frankly, I was just expecting to get longer case life, not necessarily better accuracy.
