"New" brass, new load development needed?

[09cs]

Like the title says, I have once fired brass that was shot out of a 308 AR, and was going to use for my bolt 308.

I had a load that worked well using Federal Brass, so not sure if I can go ahead and load that up in these different head stamp brass, or if I need to do another load development?

Thanks for the advice like always

What brass are you going to use?

I would weigh both and if the "new to you" brass is substantially heavier, then yes, work your way up again.
If close, maybe drop off 1 grain.

Don't have it in front of me right now, but if I remember right its PR (???) head stamp?

Thanks, will weigh!

U mean RP? In which case increase the powder charge .5-1 grain.

Yes, RP sorry for the mistake

Work up another load. You will find that with a bolt action, you can not only use bigger/heavier bullets, but you can seat it out farther and not worry about mag length issues (assuming you are not mag feeding).

Bolt action rifles will also handle pressures better and so you can generally load more powder and see pressure signs later than in an AR.
