[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2308296, member: 68015"] I did some testing with and without neck lube and found more consistent numbers with lube than without. It also seems to prevent bullet weld if ammo is sitting for a time. I tested this by pulling bullets after 6 months and there was a [B]noticeable[/B] difference in the force required with unlubed bullets. Lubed bullets were all exactly the same when pulled, no noticeable difference. I use a small amount of Lee case lube on a q tip swiped in the neck and let it dry for a minute before adding powder. Consistent bullet release means more consistent start pressure. [/QUOTE]
