"A tip on fire forming I read years ago said to use heavy for cal bullets and lighter loads for Fire forming, "
This tip on fire forming, there may be a couple of pointers to be cautious about...
Might be ok-no problem in bolt action guns like your 7-STW no doubt is, but on gas guns you may have to be careful. Also, in the 6Arc as with many ARs the pressure limit is below normal bolt-gun values, in 6Arc case, 52 ksi, any load not specifically on the charts may be too hot unless you know what your barrel does with the load... for brass with a different volume than what the mfr used in their table, this is definitely the case.
So be careful
