Thread: Dry neck lube brands and application method...

Had no luck with 'one shot'. It couldn't even slide right into the bin!

For years I have used graphite and laterly been using the redding ceramic bead mix.
I brush my necks then Amp anneal then FL resize.
Saying that graphite doesn't stick to the annealed brass doesn't ring true as if I miss a case I can tell pulling the button back out that it has no graphite applied.
I have been thinking about buying the press but I have decided I can't shoot any better than the ammo I make now so a waste for me.
If when I am seating a bullet and I notice it is variant to the rest I check it visually and the reason it is different is it is a different brand of brass every time.
My 2 cents

So... Progress

The redding dry lube and ceramic balls applicator and I now use an expander mandril instead of an expander ball.

I have found this too that the graphite don't stick to annealed cases, before i used to never anneal and the graphite stuck to the neck just fine. but now that i anneal it all just falls off and my ES is higher. can still hit a deer at 600 so haven't looked into it too much more.

Hmm, I'm annealed and graphited so proof in the pudding i reckon!
