[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2728127, member: 115285"] I do believe that frictional force, or the psi required to move the bullet directly affects internal ballistics, and that actual neck tension (squeeze) creates more or less friction. I also believe that consistency is the end goal, regardless how much friction is present. Loads can be tailored to suit. If the friction is consistent, that part of internal ballistic deviation is removed. Hence, neck tension can be high or low so long as it remains consistent, the friction stays the same. It would seem then that if you measured seating force and kept it consistent things should be good, unless the bullet and case bond after sitting as in "cold weld" creating a pressure spike. I do think the AMP anealer and press would be very helpful tools. Maybe next on my list. [/QUOTE]
