Fire forming without a projectile.
Hey folks, I have a couple a hundred .17HH cases that had the shoulder bumped back to SAAMI specs. I want to fire form them to my chamber then bump them only a thou or 2 (which is .090 longer than SAAMI.
Consumables are getting hard to come by round here and projectiles have gone up 30%, I’ve never fire formed without a projectile but have read over the years of people using fast burning powders and wads but know nothing about it. I’d reckon it would take a few firings given it takes up to 3 firings when fire forming fully loaded factory brass. Any advice is appreciated.

You can use the old fashioned was, with wax plugs, melt some canning wax in a can lid, about 1/4 inch thick for the hornet, and shoot it. But remember clean the case mouth good after doing it this way.
Or plug the mouth with a wad of tissue and fire it. Could take a couple firings, but it will work. |

I am watching what is happening there and praying for you guys. Never in a million years would i have believed what I am seeing. I watched the police actually beat a guy to DEATH for not wearing a mask.

So far Biden/Harris have not gone this far in the US, as of now, but look how they sure want to dictate what and how Americans should have too do what they but into place, re: masks, etc. and now even telling/demanding employers follow their demands on how to run companies and control employees.

If I recall correctly....I used between 7 and 9 grains(surely someone else remembers better than I do) of Unique, with a wad of paper towel on top.
Hope this helps. Kevin P.S. As for the "other" topic.......I'll say this..... At the end of the day, or discussion, ALL roads lead back to one thing............................2.2 TRILLION dollars!!!! (many have NO concept of how much money that is) |
