This is what happens when I get bored...

You think you save money rolling your own? It really forces you to shoot more. It is like tae chi for me. Lee is decent. Just got my 300 blk out does today. I decap before tumbling too.

So, let me get this straight. You deprimed and then tumbled?

Welcome to the learning process...

He's gonna have fun "depriming" all that corn media out!!

I actually know a guy that does it that way. Says it helps clean the primer pockets somewhat. He's ultra anal about his primer pockets......
I told him to get the stainless media with the wet tumbler if he's that worried about clean brass.

Oddly enough.... I found a trick to getting those little Bastards out of the flash holes.... Put the cases in a Tupperware.... Put tupperware on top of tumbler.

The cases bouncing around dislodged most of it. The rest I just pushed out with my little punch there. Not such a bad thing, really.

Leave the spent primers in and you don't have to do either of those steps.

JM...I'm in the springs, but I have a very basic single-stage RCBS press you can have. Very rudimentary, but it beats the hell out of a hammer and punch and will get you in on the ground floor at no cost. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

You are amazing....

Now I'll be able to do ALL of the processing! Woohoo!

Congratulations! I went through the same process. Had a tumbler that I picked up free from a neighbor, then picked up a Lee Classic single stage press and I've been reloading30-06 and 9mm ever since. Now I dream of a Dillon progressive press!

I tell you the worst part of being a reloader - you become OCD about picking up brass at the range!

I do other things when bored. Like txt you.

Deprime and then sonic cleaner

[BigNick73]

I deprime and then tumble in walnut. Never had problems getting media stuck in the flash holes in 45acp. Just dip em out with a kitty litter scoop and give em a good shake.

Now I have had problems with primers not wanting to sit right due to carbon in the pocket, and I hate using that little lee pocket cleaner when I'm priming.

I've cleaned and deprimed about 7000 cases of .223, 9mm and .45 the last 2 weeks! still have a shit ton left to do. I plan on getting a ton of reloading done this winter! all single stage too! none of that fancy dancy stuff!
