[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1099462, member: 12995"] Any non-belted case, it is best to fire-form with a bullet jammed into the lands to ensure the case is properly seated against the bolt-face while it's forming. That way the case properly fills the chamber while expanding. You will want to run a light load and not a full load when you jam a bullet into the lands. I'd run about 15gr LESS powder than a full load to ensure of no pressure spikes while forming. [/QUOTE]
