[QUOTE="Matthappens, post: 1863811, member: 92577"] I agree completely, I stopped cleaning my brass years ago and I have never looked back. I just clean the case shoulder and neck with steel wool before full length sizing. I use home made lanolin spray for the case lube and clean out the necks after sizing with alcohol and a Q tip. The carbon I leave inside the neck and like Alex I have tried using graphite inside the necks but my ES was worse using it. So I don't argue with doing less steps and getting better results. Try that liquid lanolin spray, I was amazed at how well it worked. Don't over clean the inside of the necks with alcohol though just a quick wipe to get the lanolin off, you want to leave the carbon. I find if you clean it too much the bullet will bind to the brass after time and that is what makes your ES get worse. Try seating some of your old bullets down and you will see some of your bullets will be quite a bit harder to push down than others. [/QUOTE]
