CJF,
If you wait until your wife has gone shopping and are willing to change to worn out polishing media (will not attract mice) as the filler, you should be able to fire form a few cases somewhere around the house. Since there is no bullet involved, you only have to consider the noise and the mess. In two different houses I have fireformed a few cases by shooting from the basement to the crawl space, through the access door. Another option is an enclosed garage, if you have a "shop vac". If nothing else, you could establish the necessary charge weight before having to drive to the range. I don't have good experience necking cases up with loading die expanding plugs where the final case needs to be the same length as the donor case. If you feel the need to neck them up, you should make, or have someone else make, an expander plug with a longer gentle taper. Expanding the necks by either method will shorten the cases but having to trim to "square up" uneven necks caused by loading die expanders make it worse. Just a couple suggestions.
