[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1303920, member: 1521"] Orch describes the basis of my input, and what I think is happening to live2huntmt. Once brass has been fired in his chamber it will never be what it was before. He'll size it X-amount, it will spring back Xa-amount, and now it's unique to his gun, and in this case probably tighter than new brass fit. Not a problem, just a difference. It's what I head straight for. Some see fire forming as wasting barrel life, but the truth is we will all fire form our brass eventually. Right? Just like we all break-in our barrels eventually. Nothing to sweat about. With a new barrel I use fire forming as my opportunity to do both break-in and full seating testing. So that I don't have to do a lot of fire forming, I do a deep body lead dip anneal beforehand, and my planning all along allows for brass lasting the life of each barrel, at least. The last gun I built is on it's 3rd barrel with the same 50pcs of brass(~80 reloads each now). But you can't do that without a plan to do that.. [/QUOTE]
