[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2046053, member: 87243"] I called and talked to Ben about that. The only reason it is on there is because their business lawyers wanted them to print it on the label, nothing to do with not being appropriate to fire form. In my .260 AI, I formed 100 cases, every one of them perfect. I have several fireings on them with no annealing now, and no issues. The brass does tend to be thicker, causing higher pressure with the same charge compared to many other brands of brass, if you fireform with too hot of a load it can cause issues. This may have been what you read about. I looked at a hogdon data starting load, and a max load for a standard .260, went dead center and used that for fireforming load. [/QUOTE]
