[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 88379, member: 8947"] Within suggested pressures, you should get at least 6 reloads per case. This assumes that the action locks up tight enough and you do not move the shoulder too much during sizing. The slight dings are due to too much case lube. Just clean out the die and use less. I find the Hornady one shot to work very well and does so with a very thin coating. The stuff from Frankford Arsenal is pretty nice too. Shooting this brass should cause you no problems. Just cosmetic unless the surface is cut. Fire forming is firing the brass while in the rifle of choice. Fire forming causes the brass to take on the interior dimensions of the chamber. By maintaining that fit, the ammo is more likely to chamber concentrically with the bore which leads to more accurate shooting. You can fire form using the Cream of Wheat method or just drop in some factory ammo (or reloads). After firing, neck sizing using a collet or bushing neck die is usually the easiest way to maintain the fit. Jerry [/QUOTE]
