[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2227985, member: 109113"] I'll second that one on the cream of wheat fireforming. It didn't work well at all for me in the 30-06 Ackley. The fastest powder that is appropriate for your bullet weight works best, in a charge that's just below maximum for the standard cartridge. I don't recall where I first read this, but when I tried it I found it to work great. One charge of powder and one bullet ends up being cheaper than trying to use the cream of wheat method three or four times. With primers being so scarce right now, I wouldn't burn up too many of those un-necessarily. If you've got some inexpensive bullets, that is the better way to go. If you're going to buy bullets for this, see if you can find some that are heavy for your caliber. That is said to help, but I don't know for sure - I just used what I had laying around and it was just fine. One shot fills out the angles of the shoulder, and now your case is done shortening, so you can trim to the desired length one time and be finished with that, too. [/QUOTE]
