[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1632565, member: 29241"] I became an avid reloader some years ago and truly enjoyed the "mechanics" of the process. I spent time on case prep and used straight line as well as bushing dies. When using standard neck and full length dies however, I had noticeable screech when the button was doing its job of sizing out the neck for proper dimension to grip the bullet. It should have been obvious, but didn't occur to me. After trying different types of neck lube I could not eliminate the obvious effort to pull the button through the neck, accompanied by the screech. Asked many knowledeable people and usually told to lubricate neck. My understanding finally increased when I had case splitting in brand new Remington brass when trying to form to Ackley improved. The gunsmith informed me that it was bad brass and needed annealed. He was absolutely correct. Now I feel that having proper annealed brass is possibly the most important brass prep. Neck tension is all over the place and accuracy suffers tremendously not to mention increasing pressures. Depending on the quality of brass, some even anneal after only two reloads. I keep my necks soft and don't bother with "lubing necks" [/QUOTE]
