Thoughts on using fire formed brass

[Dirtlaw]

Dedicating brass to a particular weapon. Any thoughts or observations regarding fire formed brass?

Unnecessary unless you're shooting ultra precision rifle or have a very picky semiautomatic.

Or in my case a very old rare caliber.

Fire forming - eg- making a 7mm TCU brass from 5.56
Primer - powder - corn meal
Or 44 automatic from rifle brass

Or

But only neck sizing spend cartridges so they only fit in your rifle?

It doesn't hurt to neck size and trim if it's chambering fine in the one firearm you use it in....

I love the smell of burning corn meal. Wish I still had my old 7mm

Since our goal is hitting the mark why not shoot for perfection? That said I may be cursed by the measure twice cut once philosophy ever since I discovered that precise measurements greatly improved my woodworking skills.

It puts less stress on the brass if you simply shoulder bump and neck size, which is how I read your question. It will help conserve your brass.

Full sizing to me, is only if you are using your brass in multiple firearms. It's harder on the brass.

YES I am dedicating brass to particular firearms. There are a couple of reasons I am doing that.

765 Argentine from .270 WIN brass. Works fine. I mean, it did before the boating accident.

Reforming brass adds an entirely new dimension to Reloading.

765 Argentine measures 7.65X55mm. The .308 Winchester Cartridge measures 7.62X51mm.

At barbeque meetups many think they might be looking at a .308 cartridge. To double check
they look at the head stamp that reads 270 Winchester.

Some attendees get a little confused and start commenting on the perceived intelligence level
of whomever assembled this, this thing!

One caliber for one rifle only, I'm getting the Forster bump neck sizing die. Too bad they don't make a 338lm set. And 308 and 6.5 are on backorder.

Once you try your first Ackley chamber you will wonder why they make other chambers. Neck size forever!
