Fire forming brass

What’s the cheapest way to fire form brass? I know about the 6gr of bullseye packed with toilet paper but I don't have bullseye. What I do have is H Varget, H110, R-15, longshot, universal and international clays. Will any of these powders work like bullseye? I would like to not use a bullet if possible. I need to fire form every piece of brass for my 30 Herrett before they will seal the chamber.
Thanks, Mike
 
I'd say the international clays would work, in the chart in the 2008 Hodgdon basic reloaders manual page 13, lists hodgdon international as #16, bullseye is #9, but I use alliant Unique to fireform and its #25. try 6 gr, tap the case on the bench to settle the powder, then fill with corn meal, tap on bench to settle the corn meal then plug with toilet paper or a worm of rolled up paper towel. watch the barrel heat cause it gets hot!
