So I ordered a 338LM Ackley Improved barrel from LRI. I also plan to order custom dies since there are no commercial dies available. When reading about them, of course the manufacturers highly recommended sending fully fireformed cases for the most accurate dimensions.
In my limited experience with fire forming, you need to fire the brass a minimum of two to three times to get a completely fire formed case. So, my question is how would you go about loading your brass for the 2nd or 3rd time without reloading dies? I like the idea of having dies made custom to my chamber, but I don’t know how to fire the case three times without having reloading dies to get to the second and third firing.
I would guarantee that I am not the first person to have this concern, I am just hoping somebody can enlighten me with how to go about it. Thank you in advance for your guidance.
