[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1862785, member: 101859"] I would avoid the SS pin cleaning. Yes you can go back and lube the necks, but the lube you use will show up huge in your groups. You will not know how it will shoot by seating force numbers. Say you use a colloidal graphite to lube you necks. Try 2 different brands, they may have similar seating force but huge differences on target. As a general rule, if you do not want put a lot of time experimenting to find something that will work as good as leaving the carbon in the necks, just leave the carbon in the neck :) Polish it with a stiff nylon brush in a drill. After a few firings you will have a nice layer that will give very good seating consistency and accuracy. If you must have clean cases, the redding powdered graphite seems to be one of the better neck lubes for accuracy across different rifles that I have tried. An interesting note is the particular lube that reduces seating force the most, has always shot terrible in every rifle I have tested it in. But if you just went by how nice the bullets seat, you would pick it every time. [/QUOTE]
