[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1891398, member: 77536"] My first wildcat was my 270 Sherman. Never had a problem fireforming. Neck up, partial resize back down to form the false shoulder, generally anneal with the low tech torch and drill method just to soften the necks back up and shoot. I found a very accurate fireforming load while I was at it too. The general consensus is it takes a hundred rounds or more for a barrel to really settle in anyways so fireforming isn’t really a total waste of barrel life if you choose good brass and take care of it. If you decide to go this route, I’d pick rws or Norma brass in that order. If you want more punch, have the bolt face and feed ramps opened up and go with your choice of magnum. [/QUOTE]
