Fire-Form with Foulers on October 23rd 2023Here’s a handy tip for those who shoot wildcat cartridges like the 6 PPC or 6 Dasher. Use your fouler rounds to fire-form new cartridge cases. This way, your fouler rounds do “double duty” and you can fire-form your brass without having to put extra rounds through your expensive rifle barrel. Joel Kendrick is the 2004 IBS 600 yard Shooter of Year. Joel Kendrick knows that after cleaning his barrel, it takes at least two or three shots for the bore to become fouled. (YMMV – some barrels might need five or six foulers. Joel uses the fouler shots when he shoots his PPC to fire-form new brass. Joel explains, “I like to always have relatively new brass ready. I fire-form a couple of cases after every barrel-cleaning in a match. By the end, I have a dozen or so freshly-fire-formed cases. You can fire-form your fouler shots without wasting any barrel life. Joel deserves our thanks for this brilliant suggestion. This should help those who don’t have a barrel dedicated to fire-forming keep their round count down. Note: When using this fouler fire forming routine, it is important to ALWAYS use the SAME POWDER that you use for your match ammo. Joel is currently the Supplier Quality Process Engineering for MMI TruTec, a company which offers barrel surface coatings to extend barrel life.
