[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2450960, member: 27307"] Fireforming brass to achieve another case shape is a common practice the world over. Many of the Ackley Improved versions are created by fireforming the shoulder and case body. Fireforming belted cases makes the whole process easy since the belt acts as the headspace feature. Years ago, we made .300 Weatherby cases by fireforming .300 H&H cases in the chamber. At the time it was actually less expensive to fireform factory .300 H&H ammunition than to buy Weatherby brass. I've even used standard cases in an improved chamber in competitions with excellent results. However, if being skittish is a problem, don't ever forget your ammunition when loading for deer camp!;) 😁 [/QUOTE]
