My first wildcat cartilage in a contender was the 7-30 Waters. I picked up 100 pieces of 30-30 brass and ran them thru the 7-30 dies. Loaded them all with the 120 grain bullet I choose to use for hunting whitetails. After sighting in and shooting about 30 rounds at the bench one day I realized that they were accurate enough to use as hunting loads. It took me 6 years of checking zero and hunting to finally fire form them all.
Same thing with my latest barrel a 17 Squirrel. Startef out forming 100 pieces of 22 Hornet. This is a new barrel so after barrel break in and sighting in. I'm still groundhog hunting with cases that need fire formed.

Accuracy suffers otherwise I would just load the and shoot them.
