[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2031220, member: 115658"] I have noticed this effect in less than 4 months. I recently pulled some bullets from .22-.250 that were loaded into new brass and had no issues after 4 years. In other situations, I had to run the ammo thru a seat die to break the cold weld and heard and felt a noticeable POP when the bullets were seated some .025 deeper into the case. I don't know for sure what would reduce this. I plan to spin a stainless brush inside case mouths to see what happens. Reading stuff suggests cold welding is more likely to occur when bullets and brass contacts are clean but my experience shows different. Like glued in, replacing neck tension. Thanks for the response. [/QUOTE]
