[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1795595, member: 105102"] In my rather limited experience in fire forming cases with COW, it seemed like it made a big difference if the COW was packed tight, and filled the case from the powder to the case mouth. In my mind this made since......The COW has more opportunity to expand the case rather than just relaying on the explosion of the Powder to force the case out. I was always to nervous to play with other packing material as I was worried about them hanging up and creating too good of plug. Here's a BAD Idea for you: Use your reamer to make a insert for a single shot 12 gauge....COW form to your hearts content without wear on your barrel. Just make sure no one mistakes it for a chamber adapter:eek: . Maybe leave the exit too small to chamber a loaded case in it, and stamp the heck out of it......I can just see that thing ending up in a "Gunsmith Estate sale" someday....... [/QUOTE]
