Someone suggested to use a case full of Bullseye.

Trail Boss, maybe.
Bullseye, i'm glad your in a different state.

When i fireform, i usually load a mid charge of powder, and seat the bullet to touching the lands.
You'll be happy with the casing when it comes out, and overpressure shouldn't be a worry.

Do you use it with a brush or brushless?

I have my cases fire formed. Used Nosler .270 Win brass. FL resized them and went to expand them with a Sinclair .263 mandrel so I could turn them.One of the shoulders actually collapsed when the expander went in. In the process I had a couple old Winchester brand .270 Win cases that I fire formed to use as practice cases to set up the turner. The shoulders collapsed on both of those. Common problem or crappy brass?
