[QUOTE="30BR, post: 2420639, member: 64079"] Bullet weld or cold fusion; lousy names for a chemical reaction. It is real. does it effect hunting hunting ammo? Yes. Does it effect military ammo? yes. But since both are normally CRIMPED, it is not a factor. In [B][I]precision [/I][/B]shooting, since the reaction can happen in mere days, it is not uncommon; for benchrest anyway, to load long, and reseat at the range to the depth needed. This is because the reaction adds a variable to the loaded road. Even if all the rounds had identical neck tension when loaded, they will not all experience identical "adhesion" issues due to this reaction. This introduces vertical into the group. I use a Lee hand press with my Redding seater. You can feel the bullet move with a snap when the reaction caused friction or interference is overcome. If I need to pull my ammo apart, if I feel real resistance, I will push them in first to break the lock. [/QUOTE]
