What did you do in the reloading room today?

Why no pins?

Just curious.

Basically just an initial washing to knock all the dirt and grime off before running it through the case feeders and 1050's. Easier on the machines, and makes it easier to spot cases that aren't up to snuff before I spend more time than necessary on them.

My process for range brass is:
1. Wash with soap/hot water
2. Dry
3. Lube, deprime, swage, size, trim
4. Stainless tumble with pins/chips, soap, lemi-shine, etc
5. Load
