[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1655955, member: 69192"] If you don't have the interference in the chamber sometimes you can get away with seating the bullet out until it hits the rifling so that the base of the case is set back against the bolt face allowing the firing pin to hit the primer. I believe that you can do this if the throat of the chamber is not too long. I'm not a gunsmith, don't play one on TV, however I do read a lot of these postings on this forum and did get this from my gunsmith. Or you can purchase hydroform dies from Whidden for around $170. I thought hydroform dies were somewhat expensive until I started messing around fireforming the .270 AI brass. I haven't tried the cream of wheat process because I have been breaking in the barrel as I'm fireforming the brass. [/QUOTE]
