[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 2429219, member: 14894"] WildRose, you seem like a thorough member here when it come to testing products. Add this product to your test. It’s cheap, I bought two cans 5 years ago and still have half a can left and I shot 100 rounds every weekend in Fclass and Tactical matches for several years. I would load several hundred bullets at a time and then seat deeper on a hydro press before the match. What I noticed was when using this product my seating force did not change when seating deeper. When using graphite powder that I dipped the necks in, hornady 1 shot, or no lube at all when I seated the bullets deeper some would pop and it would take 3 to 4x the initial seating pressure. I tried this on hunting rounds as well and after setting up for a year there is still no pop with the Lu204 and other bullets I could not seat deeper with 100 lbs of force. Get a box of Berger bullets and flip it upside down, spray this in top of the box, take a qtip and roll it around in the liquid, roll the qtip on the inside of the neck and it dries almost instantly. You will notice a definitive reduction in the force it takes to seat bullets with this as it is very slick. I found that helpful when using the hydro press as the changes in seating force were due to differences in neck tension (fit) and not differences in the stickiness of the inside of the neck. [/QUOTE]
