[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2207917, member: 108912"] Many may have missed the OP's comment that he gets good bolt resistance on closing on a basic factory 25-06 case. So, there is no need to jam the lands, and no need to worry about false shoulders. His AI chamber sounds like it is correctly cut. That is not to say that there are not situations where false shoulders or jamming lands ARE good ideas in fire-forming, it just does not sound like this is one of them. The AI chamber is designed to fire full power factory 25-06 cartridges if desired, which has been mentioned and supports that there is no reason to use light loads to fire form. The Cream of Wheat method (Google is your friend) has also been mentioned, and that works fine too - I use it. If you want to save bullets and have your first actual full up firing be a "counter" towards your load development, you can try that method. Expect your cases to turn out about like the ones you pictured if you use the COW method. They will be just fine. Cheers, Rex [/QUOTE]
