Its probably a toss up. A one lb. can of shotgun powder, vs. some cheap bullets. C of W can get pretty violent, but I use a 5 gal. bucket with a lid, lined with carpet scraps, in my garage.
Hornady's new hydraulic case forming die doesn't completely fill out the shoulders either. Dupont 700X is what I use. Start out at about 10 grains, and work up until its close enough to filling the shoulders out. Powder plus a primer, vs. Powder, primers, and bullets. Neil Jones specified that I should fire three full power loads, to get my cases formed out, completely.
The brass stabilizes after three firings. The C of W makes for decent first shot fire forming duties.
