[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2421475, member: 30902"] Bullet weld can actually occur due to drying lubricants. I've never seen it cause a catastrophic failure but it would certainly cause some inconsistent velocity issues. Most manuals tell us not to lubricate bullets or necks at all. If you're going to I would definitely make sure I was using some sort of dry lubricant like HBN, graphite, or a lubricating wax that is non drying. Years ago a lot of the bullets we bought had some sort of very fine lubricant on them. You couldn't see it but you could feel it handling them. I have no clue what it was. [/QUOTE]
