[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1134736, member: 12995"] Joel, with a belted magnum, I agree. I have found that fire-forming is not as necessary as it is with non-belted magnums. Because with belted mags, it headspaces off the belt, and the belt holds the case it place while fire-forming, therefore you don't have to seat to the lands to be sure the cartridge is seated firmly against the bolt face. That being said, my .300 Ackley is more accurate with fire-forming loads, than my non-belted Ackleys are with fire-forming loads. And by that, I mean, maybe a 1/4" difference in accuracy...So, not by much. They're all very accurate guns. [/QUOTE]
