[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4381627, member: 12277"] I don't know anything about the 6.5 Grendel and how it compares to the 7.62x39, but assuming the former can be made from the latter, and assuming you have run them through the full length sizer die, then you are correct that loading a minimum charge of powder and firing is all there is to fire-forming the brass. I have the wildcat 22 CHeetah and I usually use near Max charges when fire-forming after I found that the rifle was accurate enough to varmint hunt with even when fire-forming brass. It's kind of fun to load a cartridge with rounded shoulders into the chamber, pull the trigger and extract a totally different looking piece of brass. What you don't want to do is reduce the powder charge so much while forming brass that you don't have enough pressure to fully push the brass against all sides of the chamber. I used to read about wildcatters using fast burning pistol powders loaded under a bunch of cream of wheat to form brass but that is something I never tried. Seemed to be a lot of Kentucky windage in getting it to work properly. :shock: :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
