How often do you tumble brass

[Ernest II]

Do you tumble clean the brass each time you reload? When do you tumble the brass? Do you lube and size then tumble? Whats the sequence you use?
Thanks Daryl P.

Everytime after I resize to remove lube for about an hour.

 

[GrizleyHunter]

Everytime Twice, once to clean after depriming
And once to remove lube after resize.

I vibrate clean all bottle neck brass after decapping and again after sizing. I decap after firing using a universal decap die in a single stage press.

I always tumble before running them thru my dies. With a good sizing wax a quick wipe down and shoot em. The Hornady sizing wax has a anti tarnish inhibitor in it.

I tumble mine after every firing to clean the dirt and grit off so I don't get my dies dirty. After I lube and re size I just wipe them down with an old shirt.

 

[dmpowder]

Twice once before I size and then again to get the lube off.

 

[Kracker]

every time twice. Once to clean then once to take the lube off.

And everyone knows shinny ammo goes faster!

I tumble before depriming and sizing. I hate picking out the media from flash holes.

I've got the Lee Universal Decapping die and deprime, tumble brass with Stainless Steel Media to clean the primer pocket and everything, resize trim, re-tumble (~30 min) to take lube off and load!!

 

[deaddogwalkin]

Twice. Once before I resize to get them clean. Then for an hr or so to get the lube off.

 

[Butthead]

Before depriming and after to remove lube and clean primer pockets. If you hae a problem with media in the primer pockets try using Zilla crushed walnut. Flows through primer pockets like water. Can get it at local pet stores, its lizzard liter.

 

[reb8600]

I tumble before I resize and decap. I just wipe the lube off after they are done.

When I think it needs it.. But not twice per loading.. Just depends on teh condition of the brass..

 

[Yoteless in Ohio]

I never have.
