I've fire formed A LOT of brass. And that group is not a promising sign, I can tell you that much. It won't get much better once formed, especially if you're forming with your desired powder and bullet already. I'd be looking into steps to improving accuracy immediately. Make sure all your torque is correct first. Not sure on the build specs or gun builder. But is the action bedded? If everything is legit on the build itself, you may be looking into a new barrel soon.@Ryan Avery During your fire form stage what kind of accuracy were you seeing? My first 6 rounds down the barrel grouped nicely into roughly a 3/4” group. I’ve fire formed 85 pieces so far, accuracy has been poor on the other 79. It’s so hot I usually have time to shoot 6-10 in a session. They group in a 1.75”-2”. Once I get through my 100 pieces fireformed, hoping things tight up.
Picture below was 6 I had time to do this morning.
Before I formed any more. I'd prep the pieces you have formed already and go shoot them for accuracy testing at least.
