So, as I sit here I wonder, do I create problems by trying to solve problems I may not even have.
About 3 weeks ago I seated (no lube) some Sierra 77s in well seasoned Lapua brass. Knowing I couldn't shoot for about 3 weeks I figured I would final seat them 10 tho and that's that.
Keep in mind I only run around 1.5 tension and tumble with rice. I do believe the rice leaves the brass "slick" but whatever.
Anyways seating the final 10 tho you can hear the "click" as the bullet is driven down. While I hardly feel any resistance on my rock chucker I now have rings around the bullets. This die I have polished to keep it from doing just that.
So.. do I just seat the bullets in 1 step and don't worry about the time it takes to shoot them.
Or...
Buy a neck seating lube and see if it keeps the bullets from "welding" themselves to the neck before final seating.
Thanks guys..
