[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2547008, member: 115658"] Stuck bullets are common in old ammo. As mentioned seating them a bit deeper fixes the problem. Like hear them POP. I have notied that this problem never occurs with bullets seated in new clean brass. Cleaning the inside of case necks with a bronze brush seems to help. My guess is that powder/primer residues make for corrosion between bullet & brass neck & cause a bond. This is not "cold welding" where a bond develops between like clean contacting metals due to intermingling of atom particles like in a vacuum. Stuck bullets are not good for accuracy, worse than inconsistent neck tension. The neck portion can be separated & can be stuck in the chamber. I carry a some larger size bronze brushes that can be shoved thru any stuck neck then yanked out with the stuck neck. [/QUOTE]
