[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3259428, member: 5412"] Been reloading since the early 80’s, and I’m kind of anal about my process. I bought 10 lb of corn cob media 15 or so years ago and still have half left. Two vibratory tumblers with any cheap car wax dropped into it while running and let it run for 30 mins to mix and dry the polish. I don’t decap before polishing. Never saw the need to clean the primer pocket unless I was going to shoot 1000 yards for competition and not sure why then? The decapping/sizing die will pop out any cob/carbon in the primer hole. Size only bottle neck brass, then run through the progressive. No lube on pistol cases using carbide dies. Always put an eyeball on the powder level of each case coming through the progressive. It’s pretty easy to spot one with an overcharge. I also enjoy the ability of others to help on this forum without being crass and demeaning to those that are learning. The very reason I have one post on ARFCOM and other forums. Lots of smart folks, but a lot of knuckle draggers as well. I’m always available for questions from new reloaders. Via private message or text. If I don’t know the answer I’ll tell you so. This game is fun and rewarding when you take an animal or win a match with your hand loaded ammo. [/QUOTE]
