fire forming brass

[Caleb85]

I was just sitting here with my new born son and we were discussing fire forming brass.. and I had a brain storm..I know some people like me like to load a live round tight to the lands to Ackley brass but I know a lot of guys do the "cream of wheat" method but has anyone thought about doing that, but using them cheap throw away ear plugs as the "bullet"? Dose any of this sound like it might work or do I need to go to bed?

I like where this is going.....Could be on to something here.

Haha thanks mud, I thought maybe I was up to late and my brain was short circuiting lol..I'm not to sure how bad it would gum up your barrel !! Lots of patches to be used at the bench !!!

.... do I need to go to bed?

Go to bed and when you wake up, call the Hornady custom shop and order a hydraulic forming die.

Hats off to ya Caleb85!!!! You're starting your son/family on the RIGHT/proper "track".

Also, congrats on your newborn!!!! I read in a different thread where you announced his "in the ambulance" birth, but as I was running out of time to write I failed to congratulate there/then.

CONGRATULATIONS Papa!!!!

What does your son think about the idea?

I modified a 280ai die to hydro form 270ai

 

[Caleb85]

Nice!! The dies from Hornady are $189 from what I gather.

 

[tbrice23]

About $35 this way. Had to cut .035" from the bottom and ream the neck .003". Now it will be my FL size die also.

7gr of Bullseye and ground oatmeal gets me about a grain more capacity but I can hydro form at home.
