After wet tumbling with SS media there is a simple cure for the missing carbon in the neck.

Just dip the case necks in powdered graphite which is nothing more than finely ground "CARBON".

Then when sizing the expander will smear and coat the inside of the case neck with a fresh layer of carbon.

What is Graphite?

Graphite is a naturally-occurring form of crystalline carbon. It is a native element mineral found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Graphite is a mineral of extremes. It is extremely soft, cleaves with very light pressure, and has a very low specific gravity. In contrast, it is extremely resistant to heat and nearly inert in contact with almost any other material. These extreme properties give it a wide range of uses in metallurgy and manufacturing.

I have been using SS pins for 15 years, got started from talking to a Range Master at Camp Perry, primer pockets get cleaned, inside case gets cleaned. I have never had a problem seating bullets with SS cleaned cases.
