[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 933059, member: 23486"] Please, Please don't do that. COW works great for fireforming WITHOUT a bullet seated in the case. However, there is a gentleman from here in town who tried COW in a 6.5-06AI with a 140grainer seated on top of it. He lost his right eye & thumb (IIRC) & has a titanium plate in his skull. That Rem700 detonated like a frag grenade.... COW (or any filler other than powder) does not burn, you are basically tripling or quadrupling the mass of the projectile you intend to send down the barrel. Add to that the fact that the mass inside your case is larger than the neck due to the bottleneck design; it is not a question of if it will blow up in your face, I promise it will. t [/QUOTE]
