Pretty simple question, have a bunch of brass and want to fireform them without having to reloading expensive bullets and full powder charge. Anyone have a recipe to load rice or "other" over a low charge to blow the cases out? Would a FF load for a Win Mag be safe in your experienced opinions? Thanks everyone!

I will try to find the info, but cream of wheat and pistol powders and primers were the go to method of old. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Read it! I was wrong, wasn't rice, was Cream of Wheat lol. I'll have to research if Red Dot will work. That'd be ideal since I have to get some for my 12ga 1-1/8oz Dove reloads... Any recipe I figure out I'll post. Should be good for any 300 H&H based brass...

Red dot will work. That is what I used to fire form 7mm08 improved way back. I can't seem to find my info right now. I did find that using bullseye, you start with a load 10% of a full case. I remember that I could not find bullseye and ended up with Red Dot. Used the rest of it after I got a .38 special and reloaded lead bullets. miles
