I was looking on Guns America last night and found 50 284 new brass for $30 free shipping, so could not pass up on that. Now I have a question before I begin reaming this once fired and the new brass. Do I need to fireform it first? If so, do I do that with just the primer or do I put a small bit of power in wtih the filler? What about sealing the round. Is wax the preferred method? Thanks.

How much do I need to reduce my load compared to the small primers? I will be starting with 250 FTX and LG. In my 16" I was getting about 2150 fps with 250 FTX and 37.9 gr of LG using WSR primers. Any help would be appreciated. I also have some 240 XTP mags, 200 FTX and 225 FTX. Thanks!
