[QUOTE="woods, post: 874123, member: 6042"] They CAN booger up your dies or trimming equipment Example: New WW 280 Remington nickel brass. Some necks were dented as is common with all WW brass so I ran a Lee Collet mandrel down the necks to uniform [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/DIES/DSCN0743.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/DIES/DSCN0747.jpg[/IMG] Now the Lee Collet mandrel is not hardened steel like some dies. The mandrel was longitudinally scratched because it was entering a neck ID smaller and expanding it I have also had to order a new trimmer head from using the nickel I think that the reason some have not noticed the wear on their dies is because it is happening up inside the die at the forcing cone where the neck mouth hits the die and is forced into the neck sizing portion of the die. Not readily observable and hard to quantify [url=http://www.varmintal.net/arelo.htm#Nickel_Brass]Varmint Al's Handloading/Reloading Page[/url] [/QUOTE]
