[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2559492, member: 122313"] I have a 25-06AI build in the works that I will hopefully have finished by deer season. I'm in the process of gathering up all the reloading components and I got to thinking....why would I waste the "good" primers and powder heck even cheap bullets ain't cheap anymore on fire forming? My chamber will be set up properly where I can shoot factory 25-06 ammo out of it. But I hear that makes short cases that aint gonna grow much especially in an AI. And factory ammo ain't cheap or easy to find. Also this is going to be a 1:7.5tw so I don't know how well a 100gr sst or corelok would hold together to hunt with while fire forming. Also not planning on using Remington or hornady brass. I have 150pcs of lapua 30-06 so far. I've used the c.o.w. method before but in a 223ai and that was when primer bricks were $35 and that is a much smaller case. Barrel life is of concern. But I'd rather do something right the first time so if that means fire forming with a bullet then so be it. Can I load a medium charge of superformance which a have a lot of and a cheapo bullet and a cheapo primer and start there? Would using a cheap primer for fire forming change my primer pockets? This isn't a 25-06AI specific question. How do yall fire form your improved cases? [/QUOTE]
