[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1375023, member: 28965"] From the marks on your case neck it looks like you are using a Lee collet die? If so are you getting pucker marks on the inside of the case necks? What is the diameter of the mandrel? If you are not using a Lee collet die then something is scoring the outside of your case necks. Did you pull the partially seated bullets and check the bullet and case neck. You can ease seating effort by using powdered graphite which is nothing more than very fine carbon. And the carbon can be removed during case cleaning and increase seating force. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/CH3epH9.jpg[/IMG] Bottom line, bullets should not increase seating effort "BUT" the condition/friction inside the neck can increase seating effort. Meaning how the case necks were cleaned that can increase friction, if the inside of the neck was deburred enough, amount of carbon left inside the neck, etc. [/QUOTE]
