[QUOTE="TLS, post: 1655985, member: 50781"] The process is not too complicated. If you detect that new .35 Whelen is a little loose, directly fire forming will stretch the case at the head. Run the 35 shells over a 375 expander, then size the expanded neck about half-way leaving a false shoulder in the neck. Load the shell with your beginning load work-up recipe and go to the range. The odd looking rounds may require some aggressivness to chamber - this is good as the shoulder in the neck is holding the base against the bolt face. The finished rounds will be ready to load normally from then on. Typically the improved design will result in less case stretching over many reloads than the original. This is an impressively flat shooting, hard hitting cartridge that pushes hard on the heals of a .338 WM. I have found that 4320 gives the best velocity in the increased capacity of the improved chamber. Good luck, good huntin' and may God bless you and your Ackley richly. [/QUOTE]
