[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1528004, member: 86754"] The Whiddon hydro dies make sense to me for any of the Shermans. I've made false shoulders on once fired cases, used a moderate charge of faster powder, filled the rest up with Cream of Wheat and plugged the case with wax. Formed very well. But...if your chamber is set up to have a good crush fit, you can fire factory ammo just fine and not have any case stretch at the head of the case. I doubt any "factory chambered" .280 AI is set up for a crush fit. You then will have case stretch at the web of the case head. Jam method...always works! :) [/QUOTE]
