[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1567394, member: 22146"] I have not seen any accuracy issues from stainless tumbling, but it is a pretty well known fact that the ultra clean necks do tend to be a bit "sticky" on bullets and can make your velocities more erratic. A previous post mentioned using graphite in his necks to try and put some of the "carbon" back. I have tried graphite, and it did help a little, however, what worked even better, and allows me to maintain single digit SD's and ES's in the teens if I wipe the thinnest film of imperial size wax on the bullets prior to seating. Bullets seat super easy, super consistent seating depths, etc. It works very well. I don't think this is a very well known process, but i doubt I invented it. [/QUOTE]
