[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2710330, member: 101791"] Yes that is true and should be done to start with in any case fireforming to start with. I use a reduce load in my 6mm/280AI rifle even with having 280AI cases to start with. What I don't know if 06 or others brass can handle that extended length. I do know that you can fireform 25/06, 270, 7mm, 280, 30/06 and into AI cases angle, without any problem. It generally take 3 to 4 firing to fully fireform a case anyway. That additional .01 length has to come from somewhere in the case. I suspect that the neck is shorten up somewhat. I am not for sure if that hold true. Maybe somebody else can add some input, that's had experience with that. The other is, I don't think people have gone the route presently. I only know of 1 or two that has use the the 280AI case for other calibers presently. I sure there are other too. [/QUOTE]
