[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2564679, member: 115285"] I'm not saying these are "welded" as in a real cold welding machine! BUT, I have welded enough to know there are good and bad welds. Yes, good cold welding takes high pressure. How much pressure does it take to make a bullet stick? Perhaps the pressure / neck tension can do it. Most eeryone that has had this happen sayes it is happening with clean brass and new un-lubed bullets, and in a relatively short period of time. I believe Tubb said less than 2 months, I know mine was. I would think he knows how to avoid contamination and corrosion, I do. Clean copper and brass are perfect metals to cold weld! Makes sense to consider this as a probable cause. [/QUOTE]
