[QUOTE="cajun, post: 3063805, member: 9772"] if your shooting new brass in a chamber and have a case head separation you've got problems. While jamming bullets and using light loads to fire form is a good practice it's not necessary if your chamber is in spec and your not making brass from a different caliber where you need to limit stretch. It's not a bad practice with belted mags as case stretch can be excessive on the first firing. however I've not done it and had cases stretch a good bit on the first firing and still last multiple loadings as long as you dont excessively bump the shoulder going forward.
