    Fire forming 270 to 280ai

    Evening fellas

    Fire forming is a new exercise to me so I'm after abit of advice before I rip into it.

    Rifle is a new kimber with control feed action

    I've picked up 100 new winchester 270 brass to turn into 280ai.
    I have 5 pound of old rl22 and some cheap 7mm 140gr Speers to do the fire forming with.

    Do I just lube the inside neck of the 270 case, run it through the 280ai die, fill the case with a medium load of rl22 and projectile then go shoot it?

    Will I have head space issues and do I need to seat the projectiles to jam the lands to counter this?

    Have I missed anything?
