[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1653532, member: 63925"] One of the issues with expander ball discussed is the neck lube impact upon neck tension. I have tried graphite, moly, mica and general lube. The graphite, mica and moly was impossible to remove effectively to get consistent neck tension. They left residual coating on the inside of the neck after being virtually pressed into the brass by the expander ball. That coating is a devil to remove and it will definitely affect neck tension. I went back to lube long time ago and just wipe it out with a swab soaked in acetone. It may take a few swipes to clean completely but I have found decent neck tension afterwards and that can be confirmed with ES and SD being pretty low. Acetone works extremely well in removing any and all lube products and or oily products as most know. It works for me which is all I ask. [/QUOTE]
