[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1797022, member: 4809"] Not to get cross-wise with anyone here...but go back and read the original post. He asked "can I", not "should I". Instead of just answering his question, we tend to digress and possibly give him much more than he ever wanted. Regarding cornmeal vs. cow: I know it is heresy to use cornmeal for anything other than its God-intended purpose - but it works well. I suspect that burning cornmeal (largely carbon-based) is no different than burning powder (carbon & nitrogen based) in your barrel. If you pack the case well, you get a 99% fire-formed case first time around. I did this for years making 277 Allen Mag brass from 338 Lapua brass. I still use this method to make 6.5-06 AI brass from 270 Win brass. I first heard of this method from Kirby Allen, who made both of the above-mention rifles. It may not be the best, sexiest way of fire-forming, but it flat out works. So yes, Mram10us, you can use any fast-burning powder with cow. [/QUOTE]
