[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2348958, member: 24284"] I have a set of FL Redding dies. Accuracy fireforming is on par with formed cases, just a bit less velocity. I use the same load to fireform as I use to load formed cases. I run my 6mm brass thru the sizing die just enough to make sure the necks are 'right'. Check length of cases, if OK I load them and fire them. After fire forming I size enough for easy chambering (which pushes the spent primer out), tumble, trim to length and de-burr inside and out. They are then ready for loading. Cases don't seem to stretch as much in AI form. The 40* shoulder helps keep propellent combustion in the case and neck, as much as possible. My barrel has been Black Nitride treated (like they do some AR barrels for longevity). [/QUOTE]
