6 BRA fireform Benchrest results

Don't want to hijack this thread but I'm getting ready to fireform my 6bra brass. I have a used fireforming barrel chambered to my reamer (.104" fb). I have a couple boxes of 6mm 70g Sierras. Can I use up this old bullet stock to fireform? Was thinking of starting around 29g of Varget. Any help is mucho appreciato! BB
Sure, but I'd opt for a little faster powder. Something around lt32 should work well.
 
Your fireforming load will be slower since youre expending energy forming a case. It gives the bullet time to move farther before the expansion stops then pushes with full force. When a fireforming load shoots better than your formed load it means your formed load is going too fast

That sure isn't written in stone, Fire formed br imp. around 3000 with Barts 80's in a higher .1 and shot them at 3250 in the lower zero's ...... LOL... jim
