[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1927417, member: 38048"] .014 is nothing to fire form forward if done properly. Look how far the Dasher is blown forward and getting 10 to 15 firings afterward. Once you knew it was . 014 long you should have fireformed properly from that point on. .014 is getting into the territory of making a false shoulder and fireforming from that. Plus you should use some light oil and slightly reduced load when forming. The oil and lighter load let the case slip back to the bolt face before the front expands forward. This keeps your web area thick and prevents case head separation. People have shot Gibbs and Dasher rifles for yrs with no issues from head separation. Shep [/QUOTE]
