[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2785855, member: 95344"] I agree all methods (COW, shooting regular factory loads, and jamming the lands) will all work. But imo all have some waste, after all we're using components. I jam the lands in my Remington 700 to defeat the ejector spring. But if the chamber properly reamed this "shouldn't" be an issue. I don't feel it's a waste because I enjoy shooting and my fire forming load was very accurate. COW uses much less powder but uses primers and powder to form. And it takes time and effort to produce brass. And from what I've seen the brass isn't fully fire formed, but pretty close. Hydraulic dies are nice but can be expensive. Any of these methods have their pros and cons, find the one that fits you the best. If you don't find it works for you try another that might. That's what happens to most of us anyways. [/QUOTE]
