[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2420281, member: 115658"] Cold weld - it happens with reloads having powder residue inside necks. I have never experienced cold weld using new brass. My solution is to chuck the right size nylon bore brush in my cordless & give the insides about 30 seconds each. Do this as a first step. When sizing using an expander plug, lube the insides of the necks with small amount of graphite lock lube on a Q tip. The cold weld usually takes about 1 month to occur and not all rounds in a lot will have it. When pulling bullets from old reloads it's best to give each round a small push down with a seat die - hear them go POP. Never had cold weld using factory ammo that has been loaded with new brass.
