[QUOTE="nchunter182, post: 1291979, member: 42015"] jbs2014, If you want to fire form without using bullets you can use the inert filler method. I've recently been fire forming 375CT cases into 375ST cases using this method with very good results. I used some left over magnum pistol primers, 25gr of Unique and then filled the case up to the middle of the neck with grits. After gently tapping the case to settle the contents, I stuffed a ball of cotton in the neck to hold it all in. Worked very well and gave a nicely formed shoulder. Not quite as sharp of a shoulder as full power loads with a bullet but very close.
