[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1879657, member: 12282"] Fine print on the video ( I did not watch it) notes inside neck dry lube. That is what I started doing after reading about it somewhere. I read about it in a thread by some real accuracy nuts -- they were discussing how they got LESS accuracy when they cleaned their brass too much, and better with some powder residue. Then one fellow revealed he was using powdered graphite with good results. Anyhow, I suspect there are numerous different mandrels that fill the bill. I have been pleased with Sinclair, but I also anneal and tend to shoot expensive brass. I But the inside neck prep is important, and I lube ever neck before running the mandrel inside with graphite. I've read discussions where experienced reloaders have paid attention to the seating force required and whenever it seemed "off" they would put those rounds to the side. When later shot, somewhat unsurprisingly, the ES and accuracy of the "outliers" was off considerably. This was my drive to move to mandrel sizing. [/QUOTE]
