Been thinking about changing up my brass prep process.
Currently, wet tumble dirty brass (spent primers still in place) and then deprime/size in station 1 on Dillon 550. Recently had a 9MM reloading session started with a few hundred of my normally prepared clean brass and ended with clean/deprimed cases that I purchased. I really enjoyed not dealing with primer pocket smegma or spit primers mucking up the Dillon primer slide. The end result was extra smooth operation and faster throughput.
Anybody wet tumble (with pins) their deprimed brass ? Any issues with pins stuck in flash holes ?
Realize that I'm adding additional step by depriming before cleaning but feeling like the benefit will outweigh the cost (in time).
Thoughts ?
