So I get the purpose and goals of fire forming brass. Read everything I could here and on the 'net on the subject.
I got some 6ARC brass to fireform and I know I could go the bulletless method. But I'm concerned about not getting enuf expansion.
OTOH...I can get some 85 gr 6mm Speer bullets $14.29 / 100. Under $30 for the 180 cases I gotta fireform. (I'll be regularly shooting 90 Bergers from the gun,
What's the latest thnking in bbl life vs. fully expanding brass via fire forming? How low a powder charge can I get full case expansion? Lower end of the published relaoding data? Slower bullets would help the bbl past longer, right?
Any other "pro tips" would be appreaciated.
Thx.
