[QUOTE="chuckhammer, post: 889509, member: 25816"] Much appreciated. I stumbled into the Glades bolt handles one day and figured they were cool and different so why not give it a try. It has excellent leverage and your fingers definitely won't accidentally slip off even with a weak-ish grip. Plus, it's made here in Flordia! :D In case anyone is interested, I did my fire-forming in the bullet-less "cream of wheat" manner. I loaded 16gr of Bullseye powder with a compressed column of cornmeal over it, topped off with a 1/4 sheet of single-ply toilet paper. The Valkyrie case you see in the second pic in my original post was formed in this manner and had not yet been fired at full pressure with a bullet. Now that I have fired some full-pressure rounds, the shoulder-to-body junction came out nice and sharp. I'll post a pic showing loaded rounds of 300WM, 7-300WM, fire-formed 7 Valkyrie, and fully-formed 7 Valkyrie. [/QUOTE]
