Thread: Neck/bullet welding?

Hi all,

Just a question re do bullets eventually ‘weld’ themselves to the necks of old brass? Only reason I ask is was given some very (10 yr +) old 22-250 rounds to depose of and tried pulling the projectiles and they where basically ‘welded’ to the necks and ended up ripping the projectiles in half.

So that got me thinking - if you do get a bit of adhesion of the projectiles to neck over time, how long before a match should you long your rounds?
