missouriman1972 Conclusion to Case Forming

Here's the resulting cases that I formed, let me know if this helps. Look at the case neck, you'll see very little deformation from oil dents. I used RCBS Case Lube 2. Imperial Sizing Wax works well too. Remember the case is thicker so reduce your load by about 8-10% and then fireform. You MUST get a neck turning tool to get these to chamber with a bullet seated in the case. Sinclair sells them and so does MidwayUSA. The case neck is very thick because the 30-06 case wall is now the neck.

why use a file or dremel when you could just use a copper pipe cutter??

[ammosmith]

Apipe cutter will leave a indentation onside the neck. The file makes the case mouth square.

[SymAmineC8H11N]

i guess, but wouldn't reaming it w/ the little retractable triangle reamer attached to the side pipe cutter square it off; or not?? so you use hacksaw blade to cut 1st & then file it off w/ a flat faced file?

[ammosmith]

The pipe cutter will not yield precision. The trim die is setup for precision.

[SymAmineC8H11N]

so you cut it w/ a trim die??

[ammosmith]

Yes..it's machined for the OAL of the case.

Fire-Forming also blows out the false shoulder that sometimes pops up when resizing certain cases.

Thanks brother! I've need to make more videos but I do get bogged down at home. More are coming!
