Default Hydraulic forming dies

Hi all. Do any of you have experience using hydraulic forming dies to blow out their brass??? I'm wanting to avoid fireforming.

there a good read on 6 mm BR regarding them to form 20 Killer Brass. Keep it mind it doesn't form them 100% or good enough for a 1st firing.

A fellow shooter bought some from Hornady I believe. They formed 6BRX well enough to shoot.

I've made and used them in the past. For what it is worth I'd much rather fireform them as blanks or fireform with bullets shooting soda cans. They are messy and not geared for bulk production. Which, if you want to get your money back, you have to do a lot of them. If you have limited shooting area or time they begin to make a little sense. If you absolutely do not want to fireform how about taking the parent case all the way to its basic form and them anneal and neck back down? I'm not sure what cal you are shooting, but for the hornet it is pretty easy with a 6mm and then a 25 cal carbide ball, anneal lightly and then neck back to where you need it. I'd sooner invest in that then invest in hyd. dies. Just my opinion.
