Fireforming new brass

[mr.big]

In an old barrel, it comes out .001 shorter in old barrel but that will work out fine by the time it's shot once in a match in the new barrel.
Did over 100 pieces today. Formed it's a level caseful of lt32 and the 60 gr Sierra bullet
Virgin left and formed on right

Yeah it's a .268 neck 6 PPC , I turn the necks so the necks measure .265 with a bullet seated

That is what you call case prep. No detail too small or of such little consequence you can overlook it.

Mr. B, you ever hear of people FF a case using wax instead of a bullet?

You gonna carry that PPC into the field?

I've heard of people using pistol powder and wax or cream of wheat but I've never done it

I used cream of wheat 700x powder in new 280 rem brass. Take a small piece of paper towel. Stick it in the end of brass to hold everything in. I fired forum for my 280AI. And it does work. Just make sure all the pieces of paper towel is removed from the inside of the barrel.
