Imperial Dry Neck Lube is a graphite based powder lube.dkhunt14 said:If you do that I would think if the shells got warm it would leak into the powder. Some guys use Graphite. Matt

How does "new" brass get carbon in the neck?
I missed the word dry. I read Imperial lube. Mattsnakepit said:Imperial Dry Neck Lube is a graphite based powder lube.dkhunt14 said:If you do that I would think if the shells got warm it would leak into the powder. Some guys use Graphite. Matt
fdshuster said:(1) I never use an expander button.
(2) Bullets always seat smoothly with the neck not lubed. Necks are inside taper reamed for a smooth initial start.
I agree with you in that until you have the carbon layer inside necks, seating forces will be all over the map.Q: You believe consistent neck tension (i.e. grip on the bullet) is really important. What methods are you using to ensure consistent bullet release?
Henry: I apply Imperial dry neck lube to the inside of my case-necks with a bore mop. The K&M arbor with seating force gauge shows the need to do this. If you put a bullet into a clean case, it will be jerky when seating the bullet. You may see 40 units (on the K&M dial) dropping to 20, then slowly increasing pressure. I explained to a friend that not lubing the neck is like overhauling an engine without lubing the cylinders. Smooth entry gives the bullets a smooth release.
