Oly Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Found this today, thought I would pass it on. DON'T FIRE FORM BRASS WITH A MUZZLE BRAKE.... Brady S. Clinger writes: The one thing you never want to do is to fire form a case with Bullseye, a cloth wad AND a muzzle break. I was fire forming some 7x57 Ackley Improved cases and blew out the end of the muzzle brake. As soon as the cloth leaves the barrel it opens up and hits the end of the muzzle break with tremendous force. After I removed the muzzle break the fire forming worked great.

Dunkield Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 What the hell is Bullseye and cloth wad anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 That's a very good tip! Most people wouldn't even think of that (whoever owns the brake in the picture obviously didn't)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 people often fire form with sub calibres as well using an old barrel, so fire form say 6mmppc using .224 bullets. how scary is that!? probably not worth fire forming with a mod on either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mry716 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Or holding your finger over the muzzle - How daft can some folk be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
