[QUOTE="Full Curl, post: 1347505, member: 47602"] I was seating some 140gr Nosler Accubond bullets in fired and prep'd 270wsm Nosler cases last night with a Forster microseating die on a co-ax press. Most of the bullets seated just fine, but a few needed a lot more noticeable pressure on the ram to seat them. After further inspection of these, The seating die stem actually marred the bullet very slightly because it was having such a hard time seating which made it a tad bit narrower so it didn't seat as deep as the others by a few .01". I've never had this happen before, so I removed these bullets and used a tiny bit of case lube inside the neck and then seated a new bullet and they all went in to the correct depth very easily. However, they went in almost too easily since the necks were already expanded a little bit from the first bullet I seated and I didn't resize them afterwards, prior to seating the second bullet. Questions: (1) Is this a common issue? (2) Is using a tiny bit of case lube in the necks prior to seating a good idea or not? Any accuracy issues? (3) Is pulling a bullet and seating another one without resizing the neck going to give me neck tension issues and poor accuracy issues? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
