[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 261216, member: 4809"] When it comes to fireforming cases, I used 15 grains of bullseye (other pistol/shotgun powders of similar burn rate also work well) and then filled the balance of the case up to the neck with cornmeal. Top it off with a little piece of toiletpaper stuffed down the neck. This helpful tip was given to me by Kirby Allen. Cases came out perfect. I saved $$$ on bullets & powder and saved some barrel life as well. Additionally, barrel was easy to clean (no copper fouling) - even after 100 rounds were fireformed. As a precaution when using this method, I would remove the barrel brake (if you have one) so that none of the particles catch in the baffles of the brake. I used this method for fireforming 25-06 brass to 6.5-06 AI, and the 338 Lapua brass to 277 AM. [/QUOTE]
