[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2785918, member: 103581"] As mentioned if done the way P.O designed it factory can be shot with no ill effects to brass. If unknown, I highly suggest bumping the neck up to an oversize then necking back down till you get a crush fit, makes sure the brass is firmly against bolt face. That allows the brass to move up front and not at the web. Half a dozen AI’s over the years, I quit the COW method quickly as I got good usable accuracy out of fire forming loads. Price and availability of powder and primer makes the hydraulic forming in a die look even better. [/QUOTE]
