Hydraulic form dies

[andybrock]

Are hyd form dies worth using for case forming? I'll be getting a 6mm Dasher in the autumn, unfortunately I won't have a forming barrel so rather than waste barrel life forming cases would I get good results with hyd dies or would it be a waste of time and would I be better fire forming?

Maybe nice to have, but extra work that is unneeded. You can shoot high 590s or even 600 in F-class matches while fire-forming. So, why do this as a separate step? The false-shoulder fire-forming method works very well and is very accurate. Shoot a match while fire-forming. If you don't score a 600 at the match, you can always use the excuse, " I was fire-forming."

Go with DJ's Brass. I've watched him form brass with his custom hydraulic dies. There is alot more to it than you would think if you want perfect brass.
