[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 162921, member: 2736"] [b]Fire forming[/b] EFW My slant on this subject is like this. You said this is a 8 year project. So i'm assuming it has a new barrel that should be broken in. So why not get the brass you want,load with reduced loads, find inexpensive "jacketed" bullets (no lead) and fire form at the same time you are breaking in the barrel. Then size with your neck/full length dies trim all to the same length and your ready to give that wildcat every chance to make you happy. After waiting 8 years and spending lots of money I wouldn't worry about saving a few dollars on fire forming. There are many ways to fire form as stated on this post including Hydraulic forming . but to get the best chamber fit I still prefer a reduced load with a light bullet. Plus as I have stated before it gives me a chance to get familiar with my new toy. Have fun J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
