[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2032218, member: 94154"] Some use toilet tissue, I've used Dacron - think I'll try a bar of soap like [USER=41385]@ButterBean[/USER] - anything to keep the corn meal from getting around the shoulder. Typically takes two firings get the case to form completely in the chamber. [COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)][B]One caution here:[/B][/COLOR] Without the bullet or something to keep the cartridge case back against the bolt face, when the firing pin strikes, if the cartridge is not held against the bolt face, the pin will push the case forward, and some of the stretch will happen at the case head, possibly leading to premature case head separation. Lately with the cost of primers, powder and bullets, let alone wear and tear on the barrel, seems a hydraulic case former (I believe Whidden makes one?) is a cost effective solution. [/QUOTE]
