[QUOTE="Katbird, post: 292875, member: 14358"] The chamber is obviously much bigger than unfired brass. Part of the energy in your fireform loads was spent just blowing the brass out to fill the chamber. You now have a slightly larger capacity case if you neck size-only. You can probably add a tad more powder to your load, but work up slowly. If you are using a chronograph, you can tell when you are at the point of diminishing returns. The velocity increases at a slower rate than the additional pressure caused by the higher powder charges. That's a good place to stop, if you haven't already met your maximum threshhold. My 7mmRemMag always shot best at maximum loads. good luck. [/QUOTE]
