Cold welding
@ 04:05 am (GMT) |
Paolo ConsalviAfter reloading some cartridges I left them stored for some time. I later had the need to lower the ball to a new measure. I felt a certain resistance on the press lever and heard a "pop" when the lever went down overcoming the resistance of the ball. I looked for information and this "phenomenon" seems to be related to "cold welding". It is not the "donut" that is created after several processing cycles of the casings. It occurs with new brass and with those already fired. I was wondering if it can affect long distance accuracy. Thanks in advance for any opinion. |

Ed SybertRe: Cold weldingWell, many time USA national rifle champion, David Tubb, loaded all of his long range match ammo "long", and reseated the bullets to proper overall length shortly before each match. Like you, I've had bullets in long-stored ammo pop when they were reseated a little shorter. I reseat all my rifle ammo just a little if it's been stored more than a few years. -Ed |

Thomas KitchenRe: Cold weldingI was watching a video on the amp annealers and the guy they were interviewing was talking about this.His solution was to use moly in the neck of each case. I have had a play around with this hoping to help E.S but didn't notice any difference. Haven't spent much time on it thou. |
