[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1503739, member: 10755"] Many moons ago I had the same issue. I would steel wool (0000) my necks prior to seating. Even using light tension (.0015”) after a year or two pressures would spike. When I started F-Class, an old timer asked if I ran graphite or mica in my necks or if I left them dirty. I told him I cleaned the necks on ALL of my ammo. He said that was bad for consistent neck tension, so I stopped doing it and followed his procedures. Not only did my ES/SD lower but my groups tightened even more, which I thought I had got them as small as I could. So, ever since, either using a mandrel or a size button, which I do with Forster honed neck FL dies, I run powdered graphite (real fine) on a brush sparily through the neck, I find a little goes a long way and I NEVER get cold welding of my bullets. Cheers. :D [/QUOTE]
