[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2615735, member: 46202"] I have done extensive testing for my .338 Norma AI. I have two ways of going about it. Option 1) I worked up a good load using standard .338 Norma brass... Shoots lights out! so from there I get fire formed cases and allows me to get great results... So I can shoot and fire form. Option 2) saving money- I use a Hydro forming die by Whidden. it's messy with the water but works perfectly. I have tested it and the variances are so small you would never know from newly formed brass from once fired brass. I do this when I want to save money and just shoot my AI version. My zero for both fire formed and standard .338 Norma brass is the same. so no adjustments for my rifle. that's my experience. COW method is fine... just takes too much time for me and is a hassle. Working up a great load using standard brass allows me to enjoy shooting and then enjoying the fire formed (to mu chamber) brass in the end. win win. [/QUOTE]
