[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4166594, member: 15054"] I use a universal deprimer to deprime all cases and NO sizing is done and no wax on cases. Some of you guys tumble for a long time. I have cut my time down to 1 hour sometimes 45 minutes. But small batches of about 1 quart of brass and my container is a 2 quart. It gets full of warm water. I like the armor all wash and wax. Too much citric acid will dull the cases and tumbling in black water for long periods does not equate to a good thing if you like clean shiny cases . Like [USER=50375]@User_3155[/USER] stated drain and refill if you have very dirty cases. My cases are copper pin cleaned though not stainless pins. I do not dry my cases with heat. I rinse them all with the pins in hot water 5 times while shaking the cases around. After it is all rinsed off I dump my pins and cases and dry all the cases on a big bath towel that has been washed in Free and clear laundry detergent..No oily residue on towels that way. On rifle cases while the insides are still a bit wet I have annealed them. I am in no big hurry for my cases to dry inside of them and laying them on the carpeted floor in the reloading room they will be dry inside the next day. [/QUOTE]
