Burning some daylight today, I was re-considering the possible variables that impact neck tension and bullet release in my 6 Dasher. My list of processes to try and be a very consistent with my brass neck "tension" include:
- Annealing after every 3rd firing
- Sorting fired brass rounds by # times fired
- Consistant brass neck thickness (+/- .0002)
- Brass washed in SS Tumbler after every firing
- Light chamfering inside and out after every firing
- Dipping bullets in grafite lube at seating
- Check/confirm concentricity
One thing I did stop doing is measuring and sorting the loaded rounds by bullet seating "force" with a lbs force gauge.
Any input on adding to consistancy in my reloading process would be appreciated on-line or by PM.
