[QUOTE="sodakota, post: 1655486, member: 81002"] I have a 375 Whelen AI. I use both 35 Whelen brass and 30-06 brass. Both work equally well. However it is more work with the 30-06 brass. My method using ‘06 brass is as follows. I open the neck in stages: .313,.338,. 358, .375. When I first formed brass I opened the brass up to .416 and then ran the brass through a FL sizing die. That didn’t work as well and I quit doing that. I have a lot of cast bullets and cheap jacketed seconds. I started using them for fire forming. I finally ended up using full power jacketed loads. These loads fire formed and grouped very well - also they hit same point of impact. [/QUOTE]
