Charges may be formed in a forming press (40) that comprises a joggled die (80), with a longitudinal ridge (84) and a joggle (88) that crosses the longitudinal ridge, and a conforming die (50), with a series of longitudinally-spaced die fingers (52). The die fingers include pairs of die members (54) configured to move laterally between a closed position and an open position, with each die member configured to tilt longitudinally.
