[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2035989, member: 2736"] For the AI cases, I just fire the standard loading for that cartridge. If the AI is done right that Is all that It takes, The fact that the chamber has more volume lowers the pressure when fired and gives you a very well fireformed case with Zero hassle. I shoot standard 223 Ammo in my 223 AI while varmint hunting to form the cases for later loading to get the 223 AI loads on Steroids'. I found that low pressure fire forming required several firings to get well formed cases. This burned up more components and resulted in more barrel wear to get to the point of full pressure loaded ammo. (2 to 3 shots in many cases). Belted cases and AI cases are the easiest and shouldn't require any extra work, as long the factory loads are not excessive. Wild cats that use the shoulder require special forming before they can be fireformed in order to control the head space. I also prefer not to seat the bullet against the lands because the pressures can be unpredictable. Again, It is just the way I like to fireform and is not the only way, it's just My way.
