    Lightbulb I've never had to fire form brass soooooo....


    The hope is to fire form 243 Norma brass to 243AI. Is there an annealing process that needs to happen on the new brass?

    Thanks in advance.

    Everything I've read says to use a standard 243 load and shoot away!

    Ackley Improved. Load them up and fire away. It will blow the shoulders out nicely.

    The last batch had 18 loading-firing cycles on them and the only reason I made the new batch....I thought it was about time. Oh and BTW, its 270-08 Imp.
    #1 is a virgin 308W Lapua, #2, after a pass in a 7-08 FL die sans expander and #3, a formed stick of brass.
