[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2769713, member: 124360"] That article has a whole bunch of BS. The dude just flat out doesnt know what he's talking about and mischaracterizes a bunch of stuff. For some reason people on the internet have started propagating the 'cold welding' myth and have even heavily edited welding videos to make you think there's little to no heat involved. Make no mistake, spot welding is done with heat and the only reason it works is because the metal is hot enough to become liquid for a split second. I will say this- I think what y'all are talking about with regards to bulet to case sticking is from galvanic corrosion due to a combination of dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other, and an electrolyte in between (salt in the sweat from your fingers), accelerated by exposure to humidity. I've not had it happen to me but I'm in a dry climate. Want to keep it from happening? Wear gloves when seating bullets, and brush some graphite powder in the neck. [/QUOTE]
