Fireform ?

[FLHunter87]

Here's a question. If i have several 6.5 PRC, can I use the same brass thats fireformed from 1 rifle to the next? I am curious as I have always separated. Does it matter if ones a Browning and ones a savage, etc? Better to keep separated?

You can use it....you may find that it is difficult to chamber if the original chamber is sloppier than the new one.

Try a once fired one it in and see before you resize it.

Sometimes it works and sometimes not so much. I used to hunt with a pair of identical 7 mags and found a single load that both shot well and reloaded brass could be swapped between rifles.

In my broke younger years used to pick up brass at the range for plinking ammo and maybe 25% of the time the brass wouldn’t chamber with my ordinary RCBC fl dies. It’s something you quickly learn to check before loading the brass. Small base dies can reduce the brass further so it’s more likely to work, but I’ve just tossed brass that doesn’t chamber.

I meant for the reloading process. Say I shoot a savage 6.5 prc. Then size. Use it in browning and rotate. Obviously I'm sizing, and most likely I just answered my own question now. There are slight differences in headspace. I guess its easier just to keep separated them to keep adjusting the size die.
