[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 386465, member: 9215"] "This is the first brass that I have ever reloaded that was annealed, I usually reload either Remington or Winchester." Naw, it's all annealed. The others just tumble/polish that light color change off before loadin' it. What do you mean about "lines" or "grooves" outside the necks - are they deep or shallow? Do they run lengthwise or around the necks? IF they are shallow and lengthwise it's "normal" from a light collection of galled bits of brass stuck on the die wall. That comes from a failure to properly lube the necks and running them into the die dry. A soft metal will literally weld itself in microscopic bits to the harder metal unless it's properly lubed and then scratch successive cases. It can be lapped off fairly easily and be like new. Unless you are doing tons of rounds and actually need a different lube and method of applying it, try Imperial Die Wax OR Hornady's copy, Unique, lube. And DON'T use it on a lube pad, apply it by touching the soft waxy stuff with your finger tips and then applying a THIN coat ALL over the cases - neck, shoulder and around the head - as you pick them up for sizing. Both of those case lubes work good and prevent sticking or galling, are easy and fast to apply and easy to clean off the brass and fingers. It won't cause shoulder lube dents either - not unless you vastly over do it! Have fun... :D [/QUOTE]
