[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 519111, member: 4191"] I've always believed that varying neck tension can affect the consistency of powder ignition/combustion. Lubing the necks would be the equivalent of decreasing bullet to case neck tension - to my way of thinking. I've ultrasonic cleaned some brass in the past. When I load bullets into the necks of these ultrasonic cleaned case necks, the bullet seating force is incredibly increased. I now use a very light coating of Imperial Case wax/lube inside the case necks of any ultrasonic cleaned cases prior to powder charging the cases. Bullet slips in there like greased lightening - in comparison to the dry case necks. I use a Q-tip to coat the interior of the case neck, and then a dry Q-tip to remove any excess Imperial Case wax. I was experiencing differing MVs between the dry case neck and lubed case neck reloads over the chronographs. [/QUOTE]
