[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1917949, member: 10755"] I form several improved cases. I use the general rule of thumb that 1/3 of max with (Clays) Universal works quite well to get 99% chamber fill. I use COW and a plug of TP (toilet paper). I used to use wax over the COW (Semolina) but found after 30 or so rounds, the wax was gumming up the end of the chamber and caused ejector marks if it was not cleaned. I still often get a case or two that doesn’t form in the lower third of the case due to lack of enough pressure, a second firing is required to get the desired result, especially in my belted mag cases. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
