Where to source different bullet seating stems?

I’ll measure and post it up when I get a chance. I recently started weighing and sorting all components, and noticed the M118 brass is HEAVY. So that may have something to do with the neck tension being higher? Just more meat in the case shoulder and neck?
It could have thicker brass in neck area.

Another thing is that everytime you fire brass it gets harder which can affect neck tension.

Cleaning for Carbon

I had a carbon ring buildup on my 6.5 PRC this past weekend. The rifle only has ~250 rounds down the barrel all of which have been factory hornady ammo. Is that carbon buildup normal and is there anything I can do to prevent it?

I wish I had found this thread before i cleaned it. I ran a nylon brush through it a lot, let swabs soak with bore tech cleaner and after what felt like a million patches I got it clean enough it feeds rounds without marking up the bullet.
I think some of these modern high performance smaller caliber cartridges are more prone to carbon rings. That fact, combined with the fact that a lot of shooters seem to be adverse from using a bronze or brass brush. There is also now more awareness due to borescopes being in common usage.

One thing that has helped me is keeping my brass at maximum trim length. In my case, 6.5 Creedmoor I keep at 1.920", I trim as part of every reload using a Henderson trimmer which is fast and easy.
