[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 130512, member: 1563"] The forming will usually not fully form a case as the pressures are not of a full loaded round. BUT, in some cases if i am in a hurry to check a chamber i will just load the rounds and fire them to form the case. The target groups were just the same as the cornmeal method. The only problem with forming with full loads is your over stressing the brass on large form jobs, ie. the 338-408 type neck downs. Small cases react differently. Lighter brass vs the heavy duty stuff. I formed 25 338-408 with full loads, i did split two cases, thats 4.00 gone, so its better to use the cornmeal method on the larger cases. H&H cases formed up to wildcats should also be cornmealed. Dave [/QUOTE]
