[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 452503, member: 5219"] Trickymissfit, I must disagree with your assessment on forming 6 AI from 6mm Rem brass vs making 6mm-284 cases from the 6.5-284 case. There is no fireforming needed when you neck down a case. If the dies are properly made the case is formed with the die and not in the chamber. The 6 AI on the other hand is using the chamber to change the shape of the case. I suppose one can argue that any case isn't the exact shape of a given chamber till it is fired once and I suppose you could say that is fireforming. It is no chore for me to shoot my rifle and find a great load with virgin brass and use if for a hunt or target shooting. I have been doing so since 1982. Occasionally the rifle will require a slight tweak of the load when switching to once fired brass BUT performance/velocity/accuracy changes quite a bit with an AI before and after. IMO tedium is tied to forming cases for the AI design and not with necking up or down of a case. [/QUOTE]
