[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2159838, member: 111593"] There are 2 methods to initially fire form without shooting a bullet down the barrel. Both still require a full pressure load with a bullet to finish forming the case and get good, sharp shoulders and full case dimensions. Cream of wheat (or grits) is placed over the powder charge as a filler. Others can recommend a charge - probably around 10grs or so. Cap the case mouth with tissue or bar soap. Fire the case and clean inside and out. The other method is to use a very fast pistol powder ( I like Bullseye). Just place the powder charge in the case and cap with tissue. Hold the rifle somewhat elevated and fire. For an '06 sized case I use 20gr. You'll get about 90+% forming. Much less messy, but doesn't smell as good! [/QUOTE]
