Question about the Neco neck lube kit

[Bullydog]

I currently use the Neco neck lube kit,ball bearings with moly powder on them) to lube my case necks prior to sizing them. I then use lantern fuel to remove the moly from the brass prior to seating.

I do this because I shoot bare bullets, and don't want to deal with the hassle of having moly in my barrel. My question is, if I leave the moly from the Neco kit on during seating, will it in effect "moly" my bullet or is the amount too minuscule to matter?

I know this is a dumb question, but I'm a newbie with moly and I don't want to have to mess with special cleaning procedures, or worry about my barrel attracting water, or corroding, etc

I'm just looking for something to help achieve consistent seating force. I currently use a K&M arbor press with force attachment, and the bare necks produce some inconsistent results.

I have been using the Neco kit for years and never gave it's effect, with the small amount of moly) on the bare bullets much consideration.Most of the residual moly ends up in the powder as I have pulled bullets out of the case necks and not seen it on them and doubt there's enough left on the bullets to foul the barrel.The moly inside the necks is not peened into the copper bullet jacket upon seating as it is when the jackets are coated purposely in a tumbler with steel shot.I don't think much is left after pouring in powder and seating a bullet to get crushed into the lands and grooves of the barrel. Just my thoughts.

Bullydog,
Good question that I have wondered about myself. As a old habit, I have always lubed the inside of my necks with graphite prior to bullet seating with a Q-Tip . The bullet seats much smoother with a little lube.
