My Hydraulic Form dies arrived...

I ordered a 6mmBRX Hydraulic forming die from Hornady in March and it arrived last week August 27th. I called Lonnie Hummel at Hornady and discussed with him the process. I primed 100 6mmBr Lapua Virgins with spent primers. I adjusted the die. Then lightly lubed all my cases in the neck and web area. I then filled each to the brim with water. I ran the case in to the die and inserted the plunger. Then wacked the plunger with a 3 lb brass hammer. After about 3-5 wacks I removed the cases and they were well formed. It took just over an hour for me to do 100 cases. No wasted primers, powder, bullets and or barrel life.

I will load them and shoot a few for groups.
