17 PPC FIRE FORMING LOAD WANTED

[jcm24m]

I am needing a 17 PPC fire forming load. I am using Lapua 220 Russian brass and have 20 & 25 grain bullets for this procedure. I also have just about any powder and primers a person could be using. I do not want to waist my 30 grain bullets for fire forming. Any help would be appreciated.

Use the cheapest 25 pill touching the lands, try 20-20.5 grains of N135 or H4895 to start. You might have to hit the case twice or creep up another .5 to 1 grain to get the shoulders square.

Use a pistol powder and put toilet paper on top of it. Adjust the load til it forms well. I must stress do not use a bullet for this

For my 17 Little Nasty I used Bullseye and a clay plug.
