Get with the program, fellas. I fire form in the garage, without bullets. No wasted barrel life for this kid. And, when I sight down the barrel at fur, I want the performance I paid for.
Good hunting. El Bee

That's my method too UT, I hate blowing hot powder gas down the tube just to make noise. I have had four different Ackleys, and always loaded for whatever the parent cartridge was, then took it out hunting and killed stuff. Always very accurate, killed a coyote, and fire formed the case....no brainer?

Yeah of the 200 rounds of brass I have fire formed for my Ackley probably 150 of those killed Coyotes.

Oh, I agree! Seeing as how I shoot: .17Predator .223AI 6x45AI .22-243AI 30-338Norma Imp. ...I'm not particularly troubled by fireforming. And seeing as how I got three new farms to hunt that are loaded with woodchucks, there should be quite a bit of fun forming like this going on...

Yeah but I think part of my point is, take something like my 25'06Ackley for which I started off with 200 cases and had very little load workup because I already had data from my previous barrel.
So, this is just a wild ass guess but maybe I will fire that rifle 20 times a season. I'm probably exaggerating but even so, it could take ten years of slightly subpar fire forming loads before I would have the benefit of the performance I expected and needed.
So, I don't much give a shit. I'll do it my way, and I think my way is more better.
Good hunting. El Bee

I guess it depends if you want to screw around in your garage or screw around in the field.
