[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 1679986, member: 56732"] I have had 0 cold weld problems with either moly or HBN. This summer I pulled over 200 loaded rounds of 416 Remington , all had moly tumbled bullets. Using an impact bullet puller. I had reduced the diameter of the neck expander in my sizing die to give 8 thousandth neck tension . And crimped them tight with a Lee Factory Crimp die. They averaged 5 wacks with the bullet puller. These rounds had been loaded in 2006. So they had been stored loaded for more than 13 years. When I loaded some new bullets afterward. Then some of them still Weren't what I was wanting so I pulled down around 35 rounds with the same tool. Took the same number and force of the blows with the impact bullet puller. I stopped using moly and went to HBN originally because I couldn't find moly powder any longer. I'm very glad I made the switch. I find HBN to be much better. As all my rifles are hunting rifles. Having the cold bore shot being inside the group is really important to me. The reduced friction and ease of cleaning is great also. [/QUOTE]
