I've wondered more than once if you're part of a terrorist cell operating within the borders.

Well, now he's flagged by the TSA AND the NSA... [LOL]

So, does that mean you're upgrading to either an ultrasonic cleaner or wet tumbler? [LOL]

If you do, you might have had this happen instead of getting a full cavity search...

Seems I did not tumble this brass enough. I've been struggling with the process due to the PITB it is to fully separate the media so I don't scratch my dies. Tumble before size/decap, then tumble again to remove the lube after step 3.

Yesterday was mostly step 3: trim, in/out chamfer, *, clean primer pocket, uniform*.

* press swag if needed.

I should be using nitrile gloves anyway.

I must not be tumbling my brass enough. And every time I tumble, I end up with a thick coating of dust on everything... Any way to eliminate that?

Used dryer sheets work pretty well for me. When I separate my brass, I take out a handful from the tumbler (after emptying the media) and loosely shake it in my hands to get the excess media out and it works very well for me.

And yes, we all should be wearing nitrile gloves while reloading but I definitely don't right now. If I'm working with primers a lot I will, same goes for dirty range brass (while sorting).

Yeah, I use a ton of dryer sheets this way, but it's a PITA. maybe I'm doing it wrong. [Dunno]
