[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2421658, member: 30902"] That's a common problem with steel and aluminum, it doesn't happen with Brass and Copper. If one has "bullet weld" it's due to a contaminate such as case lube or petroleum based lubes. If everything is clean and dry when you seat the bullet you should never have a problem. I found 200 rounds of .220 Swift I'd loaded back around 2000 a few weeks ago and it was still in pristine condition and shoots as well as it did when I loaded it. As I mentioned, in the military we shot ammo and ordinance that was over forty years old with no problem. Keep it dry and keep the petroleum products and solvents away from your ammo and it will be fine. [/QUOTE]
