[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1303519, member: 2736"] Yes I have tried forward ignition and the primer tubes were also threaded in to the cases. this was a long process and quite time consuming, even though I only did 5 cases to see if there were any advantages. It appeared that only very large cases need or showed any improvement. (Powder charges larger than 3 or 400 grains. The reason I wanted to try forward ignition was to see if throat erosion could be minimized by not forcing raw un-burnt powder into the throat. short mags help this condition by shortening the powder column and the flame front, so there was no advantage to forward ignition in my opinion and there was no measurable accuracy improvement. It was fun and educational to experiment with different ignition methods though. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
