Thesenator: There are no noticeable bulges, or I would not have tried to shoot them out of my rifle. However, I did not think of neck turning the cases, and I will try that on the next batch. It is very possible that is the problem. It usually is the simple things that you don't think of that bite you in the butt.

Sogman: Yes, the rifle will chamber factory loads, as well as factory made 25-06 brass that I've reloaded. It just does not like my re calibrated 30-06 brass. This one is a M77 Mark II (IIRC, my brother has it and I'm not looking at my inventory atm) heavy barrel, and is a very good shooting rifle.

Sport: On your fire forming method, does the gun take any special cleaning afterwards? Is it safe to do that repeatedly on a "good" gun, 10 or 20 cases at a time? Would PowerPistol be a good powder for that purpose?
