Another way to prevent it is not clean brass unless necessary, and it rarely is. Aside from wiping off cases that fall on the ground, I rarely clean 'em. The inside of the necks gets a light brushing, but not enough to remove the last light layer of powder-fouling. I haven't had a problem with cold-welding in many years.


I also never tumble, unless absolutely necessary. I just brush necks lightly with nylon brush , wipe off grit. Lightly clean primer pockets and load. I never had issues with Cold weld. I am also lazy so in this case it has helped me........
