I chambered my .400 Brown Whelen yesterday and loaded one round with mild charge of 4895 and 320gr cast bullet to check my work . It formed perfect and no flattened or blown primer .
I would like to fire form the rest of my cases that were semi formed (straight) with light 700x charges ,polenta and tissue paper wads. Sized and trimmed but the case bodies aren't fully expanded.
I don't want to burn a bunch of 4895 forming these and was thinkin that maybe around 12 grs of Unique would do the job .
Anyone have any experience in this area ?
