Some guys were talking about using 0000 steal wool to polish inside necks.
Any of you guys do this?

Re: Neck ID polishing
I have used it on nasty 50 bmg brass to get the sealant out. Works great for that, but I have not used it on anything else. Just have not really needed to.

Re: Neck ID polishing
My Chronograph says that left over carbon is better than polished, just brush out the big stuff, the grey left inside the neck act as a barrier between the brass and copper, aids in consistent bullet release.

Re: Neck ID polishing
I polish the inside of my necks with a brass brush chucked in a drill press. I put a little bit of steel wool around the brush when it gets worn down.
I find that the bullets seat a little easier (merely anecdotal evidence), they "feel" more consistent when I'm seating them, and run out may be a little less (again anecdotal, I've never recorded run out on a batch with and without...so not scientific).

I have used metal bore brushes on my RCBS Trim Mate that I run my various cases on, to remove any carbon build up remaining after cleaning.
I give them just a quick kiss and call it a day.

Re: Neck ID polishing
I leave my brass in the tumbler overnight. When it comes out the necks are shiny inside and out (but not really polished).
