[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2207852, member: 9299"] Lots of good info already posted, but I will throw in my experiences. I've formed several AI's and other in my life, and I have used most every method posted. The COW and false shoulder with fast pistol powder saves components and throat wear, but also, I have used bullets jammed, lead and jacketed, with a proper load of pistol powder to reach the correct pressures (Lyman cast bullet manual helps). Also, I have loaded with hunting/target bullets and a top end load of rifle powder and used those loads to practice at the range, varmint shoot, etc, etc. Many times, they are very accurate even in the forming stages, so I did not feel I had wasted the components. With today's component shortage/costs and if one does not have a fair stockpile on hand, I would lean more toward the COW-pistol powder method for initial forming. YMMV [/QUOTE]
