[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3098598, member: 116439"] EDIT: We never used Hydraulic forming before only COW or just shoot a regular cartridge in an AI chamber. Wanted to get other opinions on Hydraulic Forming before buying a Whidden Hydraulic Form Die. Also realize that you need a full load to fully form the Case. I can see a few advantages with Hydraulic Forming apposed to forming with a regular cartridge or COW. 1. Not wasting a bullet each time EDIT: when forming with a regular cartridge. 2. Not putting wear on the barrel EDIT: when forming with a regular cartridge. 3. Time to reload COW 3. Time to shoot COW 4. Hydraulic Formed Brass can get you to almost a full size of your Wildcat or AI Case Form. Forming of the case can become more complete using a sizing die to set the newly formed shoulder back about .010". After this step is taken the new case will be ready for loading. Now you can use a regular load & brass if forming for AI and get some good accuracy. Disadvantage 1. Cost for the Hydraulic Die kit can be up to $290.00 with Tax and Shipping. [/QUOTE]
