[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2016827, member: 87371"] I am not doubting that other people on this forum understand this issue better than I do, but I do doubt that resistance in seating a bullet equates in a linear fashion with neck tension when the cartridge is fired and the bullet begins to move into and through the barrel. There are variables associated with resistance in seating, variables that we have all experienced: whether or not the neck is chamfered, whether or not the brass is annealed, whether or not the bullet is aligned with the case as it begins to slide into the neck, whether or not the insides of the case necks are all similarly cleaned, and certainly other variables. All of those will affect the resistance we feel as we are seating a bullet. But do they all have the same effect on resistance the bullet experiences as it begins to move forward? I doubt that. Which means we cannot measure the resistance of the bullet being seated and assume that equates directly to the bullet starting down the barrel. Which makes me skeptical of gauges that measure the resistance of the bullet when seating. Not to be a doubting Thomas, but that's my gut feeling. . . [/QUOTE]
