    If you are a handloader you could always load some fire forming rounds by loading a bullet in the lands of the rifling to hold the case against the bolt face and then fire form. These cases would then be for this rifle only and would require neck sizing only.

    Can also be achieved the way .303 guys do it...use a tiny rubber "O" ring around the case at the base. Holds the base against the bolt face and then neck size...
