[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 681522, member: 5262"] I used to fireform a 30-06 JDJ (T/C Encore wildcat w a short neck, max case capacity) by seating the bullet hard (jammed) against the lands (as JDJones himself recommends ) and have never had a problem fireforming ammo this way. I also think you could form 280AI using '06 brass. Case would be a bit short but that in and of itself won't be a "problem". If you have a tight neck 280AI chamber, it may be best to turn necks after sizing down. Simply sizing the neck down to form the shoulder in the appropriate spot for getting a snug fit in the chamber will also eliminate case stretch. Regards Rog [/QUOTE]
