Ya well you know RR he wants to own all the 45 colt ammo in Canada. If he gets all that reloaded and with the ammo he has now he might have more ammo on hand then any warehouse in Canada

I have the utmost confidence that he will rotate his inventory sufficiently so as to always maintain its peak efficiency ..

I'm kind of liking the cement mixer image. Economy of scale!

Evan and I went through very similar thought processes in choosing a cleaning method. I also got the Lee universal Decapper. I use it in a Lee handheld press, quick and easy.

RR, I am sure you will walk your own path on this. That is part of the fun.

I have several hundred rounds waiting to go out and play. And, I have put up a few hundred serious hunting loads. It is great to be able to depend on what I want to use.

Have fun brother.

Shoot every day for years...awesome! That is a great idea.

If you are going to wet tumble brass it needs to be de-capped before doing so.
Brass should be sized, deprimed & trimmed (if necessary for the caliber) before tumbling.
End of story...

You don't mean to imply that you put dirty brass casings up into your resizing die, do you?

[Jdl447]

One thing to remember; tumbling brass for reloading is prolly the most talked about but least important aspect of reloading...

[RanchRoper]

Yes, if I understand correctly, proper & safe powder charge is the focus.

[ESquared]

...which is not to say that tumbling isn't important. ALL the steps are important.

When and how you tumble is a personal preference thing.

You'll figure it out, just as we all have.

You don't mean to imply that you put dirty brass casings up into your resizing die, do you?

No - I perform a 'pre-cleaning' before sizing and depriming I have previously described.

[ESquared]

Too funny.

Case tumbling/cleaning seems to fall into the same category as gun cleaning/lubing. It doesn't matter how or when you do it, it just matters that you do it.
