[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1182574, member: 4191"] Thanks Mike. I split out a few RWS .404 Jeffery case shoulders while fireforming to a wildcat cartridge 20 years ago. I was turning them into .338 Imperial/.338 Edge cases. But that involved several stepping/necking down processes and then lastly fireforming to expand the shoulder out to fit the chamber. Either that RWS .404 Jeffery brass wasn't annealed very thoroughly at the factory, or I'd worked it too much prior to fireforming. My current project is less complicated. A direct fireforming of the 338 Lapua brass to 338 Lapua Improved. No working of the case necks at all. Simply blowing out the shoulder/body. I may anneal the shoulder area after fireforming, although I'm not certain of the value, since the shoulder area will never be worked much again after fireforming. [/QUOTE]
