[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1212848, member: 64108"] Wildcater, the thread on LRH is long but full of info. One can expect lower ES on cold bore and follow up shots. Another interesting point was the bond that forms on loaded ammo when it has sat for a while between the bullet and brass case. You may notice it if you pull the bullets or if you seat them a little deeper, you can feel it and sometimes hear it snap when it breaks free. That would have the effect of higher neck tension, thus causing higher ES. The HBN also helps prevent that bond. Also lubing the inside of the neck with something like Imperial wax(spin it on a Q-tip) before seating the bullet seems the help. Do that after dumping the powder in, ask me how I know that. [/QUOTE]
