Best way is to measuer the case volume by filling with water and compare it with commercial brass.  If the same you don't need to reduce loads.

I reduce charges any time I change ANY component.  It may only be a grain or two, but I still do it just for safety's sake.

There can be wide variances between brass from different manufactures and this can affect pressures.
