[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3337184, member: 15054"] Something else I have thought about I will toss in the mix. I have pulled bullets from cases and they are all scratched up.. deep scratches in the jackets. This was factory ammo. I pull bullets from my brushed cases and no scratches at all on the jackets.. they look like a new bullet. I wonder how much copper fouling a scratched up bullet will make vs one that is smooth. Bullet seating forces are very even with a brushed case neck vs a batch of cases that were not brushed. One reason I brush all mine now. Maybe if I had a die that did not pull a sizer through the neck I would not need to brush. I polish my expanders with 1500 sandpaper and then 2000 grit and then a machine glaze polish. Overkill.. maybe same steps i do for paint on a car.. make it shiny. Cases size much easier. Addicting hobby this hand loading of ammo. [/QUOTE]
