[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 91903, member: 2693"] [ QUOTE ] You never commented on my question about seating bullets in brass that are sized without an expander. Is it possible to seat bullets without shaving copper, I mean it must be, but do you have to chamfer the inside of the case month a lot more? [/ QUOTE ] Sure, but you need a good coating inside the neck including the brass mouth where you chamferred. There are several ways to do it. I use graphite suspended in alcohol. There's a guy who makes the stuff in California. I just use a good chamfering tool, and use a q-tip, dab it in the suspension and roll it in the case mouth. I've pulled bullets after seating to see for myself if any copper was shaved and there wasn't any. Don't get aggressive with chamfering. [ QUOTE ] Which tool in your experience is the best to use for this? [/ QUOTE ] I use the RCBS Precision Mic. [/QUOTE]
