[QUOTE="longbowelk, post: 1202967, member: 41272"] I am in the process of trying the C.O.W. Fireforming on the original 280AI. I seen some videos and read some articles on it. I started with 10 grains of Bullseye pistol powder. I have a case that was Fireformed fully loaded with a bullet I am using as a reference for comparison of headspace using the Hornady gauge. I have upped the powder trying to match the reference case. From 17 to 20 grains I am .007 short according to the gauge. It appears that I have hit a wall. The shoulder is still a little rounded. Should I keep increasing powder or just start reloading them as the bullet and full powder load should finish the process? Also, can I reload the cases that are partially formed to finish them or try more COW with more powder? [/QUOTE]
