In that case I agree 100% with Tim and you, I use the same process except I use a rcbs case prep station with the Montana nylon brush, thanks for clearing the montana extreme thing up for me I was definitely thinking solvent
Wayne.
I tried this. I even BUFFED the inside of the case neck using polish. It had the 2nd smallest effect of all factors I tried for seating bullets (including dry lube, painting moly lube, painting graphite lube, etc among others---the first was dry lube which appeared to do nothing at all). I found that the greatest factor for effecting seating force is (by far) the amount the neck is sized, and the seating force goes through the roof at .002" of interference.
At .0005" of interference (unturned, full thickness Lapua necks) I can nearly seat the bullet with the Wilson die by pushing it with my hand, which I figure is about right. My groups have agreeing with me also...
Bradley,
If that is working for you my friend,...don't change a thing!! I agree with you on less tension
Wayne.

Tumbled brass after ultrasonic cleaning also has lower seating tension. I assume from the polish/corncob still left in the case.
