[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1354603, member: 101859"] When I still cared about seating force (another topic all together) I tested all types of neck prep. Its an easy thing to do if you own an arbor press with seating force gauge. If your not familiar with hand dies look into them. I full length size everything on my coax, but I seat everything with wilson dies and an arbor press. Nice to take to the range for seating depth testing too. Anyhow, seating force is mostly friction, not neck tension. Out of all the preps I tried, a stiff nylon brush produced the smoothest most consistent seating force numbers. 1000 yard ladder testing also showed me the best vertical with a stiff nylon brush only. Cleaning methods that remove that carbon layer like SS pins and ultrasonic cleaning are not recommended. [/QUOTE]
