[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 2560389, member: 95235"] I think people make this stuff way too complicated. A mid range load in the parent case should have moderate pressure for fire forming even with a slightly jammed bullet, but plenty to fully form the case so that you can start development on the second firing. Consider that if you don't fully form the first time you are still in the fire forming process on the 2nd firing. 2 primers, 2 charges of powder before you can start development. 100 cases should last the life of a 25-06ai barrel if you don't abuse the Brass and anneal. 100 rounds is where you want to start development anyways to do your break in and account for the barrel speeding up. My fire forming loads in my 260ai were as accurate as anything that I developed later, just slower. So they are still good practice rounds, not a waste at all. My process is: -find the lands -Load a mid range load(for the parent case) with the components I plan to use, a few thous. Into the lands. -Shoot It is supposed to be this easy. That's how ai rounds were designed to work. [/QUOTE]
