Thread: Any one seating bullets using a graphite powder?

you put your chamfered case mouth in and twist it into the scotchbrite the steel shot holds the graphite powder and stops it from settling under the scotchbrite also kind of forces it to make contact with the case mouth.
I haven't tried it yet but anyone got any opinions why this would or wouldn't work.
I'll upload a pic later when I get home from work.

I have small plastic jar with some 7.5 steel shot in it...added graphite powder...tip some into lid and DIP case neck in to about half depth of neck....works a treat.

Here's my one, I haven't tried it yet. I wonder if I should remove some of the shot ?
