[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2780773, member: 95344"] I get where you're coming from. I'm under budget constraints so I try to do more with less. On my 260 AI loads I jammed into the lands to fire form. My fire forming loads were more accurate ( average .290" 2760 fps) than my current once fired loads ( .490" 2871 fps). For me I felt that I could more completely fire form by jamming into the lands than COW method using my Rem 700. I have the ejector spring to overcome which is one of the factors why I chose jamming. With a Mauser I'd consider COW since I wouldn't have a ejector plunger spring to overcome. I was lucky and found a good shooting fire forming load to practice shooting out to distance. My once fired loads don't group as well at 100 yards, but have better velocity and ES/SD. So far I'm really happy with the consistency at ranges out to 800 yards with my once fired loads. Near misses on sage rats at that distance :) I'll work on them some more and check out to a mile once the grounds get less muddy out here. [/QUOTE]
