[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1919053, member: 109136"] I don't have any evidence, just my opinion. First, the residue that is left in the barrel after being burned from the powder is gritty. Push it out with a dry patch, rub between your fingers. Can't be good for the barrel. Second, I have never gotten a fully formed case with the COW method. Always end up firing it a second time to get the sharp junctions we are looking for. Not being argumentative, just pointing out another view of the process. Fire forming with COW (and other media) has been done forever, not saying it is wrong. Just not my choice. If you are fire forming cases for a match rifle that will be shot 1000+ rounds, donor barrel is the way to go. That is what I do with all my target stuff. If you are fire forming for a hunting rifle or a recreational rifle, a few extra rounds down the tube will never make a difference. JMHO [/QUOTE]
