Fire form and barrel break in

Hi Gents,

I got my Baby - Savage 110BA 300wm- recently.

I need to break the barrel in and want to fire form the cases as well.
I bought Hornady brass and bought Hornady 220gn Interlock RN's (great value for money) for the job.
I have quite a bit of S365 left.
Can anyone suggest a load to accomplish this??
Regards,
Craig

I think 597gr S365 with a standard primer should give you decent pressure to fire form and break in.

Correction - 57gr S365.

Hi Gents,

Thanks for the info and the correction ;D

QL indicates that the 57gn of S365 is only 72% filling.

What is the minimum filling level before it becomes a safety issue???

Regards,

Craig
