[QUOTE="RYEWSKY25284, post: 1973737, member: 76586"] I believe your smith should be able to make a chamber mold. this IMO would be the fastest way to get your dies made (check with John Whidden) to see if he's made dies from a chamber mold before. I'm sure he has.. Also, I would fire lighter loads on first FF as to not over-stress the brass. And yes, it may take 2-3 firings to get fully formed brass. You can use the parent "neck sizing die" for the fire forming as long as you use low pressure loads. I'm a fan of the COW method. Wildcating does have it's PITA's Best of luck [/QUOTE]
