[QUOTE="uncleB, post: 190946, member: 4679"] This is just my opinion but I have fireformed more than my fair share of 6mm AI and 22-250 AI . I have used COW , oatmeal with Unique powder (and others). I think it is a waste of time, I have never seen a case 100% formed by this method. The last time I formed 6mm AI cases I bought bulk remington bullets and used some Mil. surplus H4831 powder that I had no other use for, cases were fully formed and ready for load developement. Headspace should not be an issue whether you seat your bullet into the rifling or not, if your gunsmith chambered your barrel properly there should be about .003" crush fit of virgin brass eliminating headspace problems. By far the best fireforming method that I have found for my 22-250AI is to have a junk barrel chambered with the same reamer as my new barrel and do all fireforming before a new barrel is installed.
