[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2682245, member: 69192"] Would you explain the reasoning behind fire forming by jamming a bullet into the lands when a belt accomplishes the same thing. What is the benefit? Jamming a bullet essentially is like forming a false shoulder, the belt serves to do the same thing??? I load a 300 WinMag, after the first firing I no longer use the belt and bump the shoulder back.002-.003 thousandths. My thoughts are that once a full/heavy load is fired the case is pretty much fire formed. I’d fire forming using the COW method i do not consider that round to be fire formed until I put a full load through it. The difference between a COW fire formed case and a full load fire forming is definitely visible. [/QUOTE]
