Newer reloader here and I need some advice on using virgin Hornady brass after a load work up with 2X fired Hornady brass that was FL sized, shoulder bumped .002 with a neck tension set at .002 with a mandrel. My goal is to stay in the same velocity and accurcy node. Am I going to have to increase the powder charge? And if so how much with the virgin brass.What kind of velocity drop should I be prepared for? See below for load specs. Thanks in advance.
Remington 700 5R Gen II

Neck tension. 002
Case trim to 1.912
COAL 2.810 .060 off lands

Not a barnburner load but I stopped cause of the accuracy!! This is the 5 shot 200 yard group with the above load.
