    Where to buy the cheapest 7mm projectiles

    Hey team,

    Where can I buy the cheapest 7mm projectiles?
    I'll use them for fire forming brass in my 7 RM and 7mm08.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    You shouldn't need to fireform brass for those calibres. After your first firing of the brass just neck size the brass if you want.
    Fire forming is just where you sizing brass to fit a non-standard chamber such as 260 to 260 AI which has q different shoulder angle to factory chamber.

    If you loaded a full length sized case the same way you loaded a 'formed' neck sized case, would you notice any difference in accuracy and ES?

    I was getting approx 70 fps ES in my 7mm-08 with FL resizing.
    I'm down to 22 fps with neck sized fire formed brass.

    It could be a number of things like quality of my FL dies, but it's working for me.

    Do you care what the pills are? I think I have a bag of mixed 7mm like 120 BTs and matchkings and all sorts. If you don't care what it is you form with I can send em over.

    Awesome thanks Gibo.
    I've only ever fire formed with 140 gr pills, but if you have some you would like to move on I would be happy to buy some off you.
    It would be great to try some other makes and weights of projectiles.
