[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1796440, member: 2736"] I know many people use the COW method, But there is just something wrong with burning cornmeal or cream of wheat in a barrel that I go to so much trouble to keep clean.:eek: Besides, cornmeal is for cornbread. I have found with a little planing I can load fire form loads that can be hunted with and normally keep them under 1 to 1.5 MOA. So I prefer to fire form with something I can do several task with at the same time. If a fire form load is not suitable for hunting, I use them for barrel break in and fouling shots and end up with cases that don't have to be shot several times before loading the final hunting/target load. Several wildcats that I designed have increased the powder capacity by 20+grains and shot fire form loads very well (Less than 1 MOA) and still formed the cases to finished new chamber dimensions. In fact the same load data has been good range ammunition for practice for several of the guys In the new chamber, So no components are wasted and using a chronograph I can also see some load preferences at the same time based on SDs. Changing from one chamber to another may require different ways to get good results, so planing and executing proper load Technics is very important if you want to save time, components, barrel life and above all be safe.
