Wheat is bad for you I just used large rifle primers because that's what I have... Prime and throw powder then fill with COW or Polenta... Cook the rest for breakfast...

I'm not into shooting a couple hundred rounds down the bore with so so accuracy just to fire-form and lose about 20% of the barrel life. It also really helps when you are forming a new batch of cases for a competition rifle. I usually do 500 new cases. If you do load development in NEW cases that are not formed to your chamber, all bets are off. Have a nice day boxer!

Couldn't you pick a better chambering,with better Virgins and a reamer slated to same...rather than Handloading Cocoa Puffs,while wearing your helmet,drool bib an a seat belt?

Do tell,how there's correlation to case capacity and the leader board and I reckon...they must sweeten the pot with a free case of Cocoa-Puffs for the Winner? Laughing!................

Mr. Oblivious Stupidity, whoever that is, must be one heck of a thoughtful person.

I usually use Red Dot, but almost any of the fast powders work fine. With my .257 Bob-Imp I usually load .257 loads and shoot, but I am using IMR 4895. With my .270 WinImp and 6.5/06 Imp I usually fireform with COW. I don't usually go to the matches where they supplement the prizes with Cocoa Puffs, whether or not I like cold cereal, but COW is better hot...if I have any left after fireforming, lol. Have fun, Gene Last edited by Mavrick; 08/18/14.
