[QUOTE="STGguy, post: 2530001, member: 122349"] Make sure that whatever you use Dosnt have salt in it . I used cornmeal for my 260/ 223 AI. And my 6brx . I was warned to avoid that. I had a blast shooting “skeet” w it and blowing up those annoying Carpenter Bees w it … made the time go by. I use a “blop “ of Crisco and keep the bbl tipped up. Easy clean up every 25 or so. I learned the hard way about keeping the bbl tipped up and spilled one down in the action- not fun. I got 100% first pass sharp shoulders using I forget what charge of Unique , Corn Meal and crisco once I added a false shoulder at the neck/ shoulder junction/ bottom of the neck the next size up neck sizing die, then sized 3/4 or so of the front of the neck back to the caliber / diameter I was forming. Ie . I made as long of a .284 “ false shoulder on a .264” dia round - 260 in my case so that I can just tightly close the bolt. It helps ALL the energy transfer to forming the case. Just my $.02 .
