Mar 4, 2021 · My guess is that the berger 170 eols are cold welding or the lack of lube is causing the bullet to release inconsistently, and I hope the neck lube helps fix this. The reason the HH bullets might not be affected by this issue is that their drag reducing function bearing surface is not conducive to cold welding and let's the bullet release much ...

Oct 17, 2018 · Cold weld. This is my primary concern right now before I pound a couple thousand rounds together. One load I’m doing for friend, Is going to be round 800 rounds of 204 ruger.

Dec 20, 2019 · To avoid the so called "cold weld" between bullet and case, anybody tried applying a bullet lubricant like liquid alox from Lee, commonly used on cast lead bullets? Roll the bullets over a small amount of alox. Allow to dry and seat them. Remove the excess from the bullet and neck. Will try it soon

May 19, 2013 · I've experienced what can only be explained as "cold welding" of the case necks. They were .223's loaded as a prototype batch of 20 rounds for Hi-Power competition. They got put aside, and I didn't shot them for about 12 years. The cases had only been reloaded once. When I fired the first half-box, I noticed split necks on almost all of the cases.

Apr 17, 2021 · While cold welding is the merging of two parts, galling is the friction damage that follows cold welding. When two parts are cold welded and then moved by compressive forces, galling damage occurs on the surface of both materials. Your assessment of cold weld VS galling is 100% wrong.

Mar 10, 2013 · We [my brother and I] put welding paste up inside the bolt body so the heat treat is not affected at the cocking cam. We put a big mill vise in the middle of the shop on a low bench. We wear welding goggles. One of us runs the Oxyacetylene torch while the other uses a sledge hammer and the "Extra large Forming Punch " as Brownells calls it.

Jul 9, 2018 · Hello all, Pretty much like the post says, does anyone one know a great way of drying brass in bulk? Let's say thousand or two pieces of brass in one go. Much appreciated for any and all info ? Semper fi Horner

Mar 31, 2025 · Finally got to the launch, managed to drag the 'yak out but was so cold I could barely walk and couldn't stand up straight. Somehow I managed to put the kayak, all 90lbs of it, on top of the car and tighten the straps enough to say "fuck it". Stripped off all my clothes, jumped in the car, cranked the heat to max and began the drive home.
