Like a big dummy, I used to dip into the neck lube after wiping on the wax, which allows the little beads to stick to the case🤦‍♂️ at times. Don't think I want those going in my die, (or rocketing down my barrel at 3000fps) so I reverse the order. Since all the talk about cold-welding here, I don't tumble my rifle brass, period. Once it's sized, I wipe off the lube with high-test isopropyl alcohol. Ends up pretty shiny and the inside of the necks nicely contaminated to fend off the molecular migration.


What fresh Hell is this?
