[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1330130, member: 22069"] When I initially started loading fire forming rounds, I attempted to use some of my Redding .30 cal sizers to neck up PRVI .270 brass. I am glad I started working with the less expensive brass, because I destroyed several cases in my initial attempts to neck them up. The lesson I learned is that a tapered expander is a good idea. [ATTACH=full]78365[/ATTACH] I ordered Hornady .30 and .338 neck size dies, which cured my problem, making it a snap to neck .270 or .280 cases up to .338 in two steps. I had previously acquired a .358 neck size die, in anticipation of using the false shoulder method to fire form, but it wasn't needed. On the right side of the photo, note the difference between the tear drop-shaped Hornady expander and the more abrupt Redding expander. [/QUOTE]
