Dry tumble, reload, shoot.

Here's my process.

• decap
• wet tumble with pins
• rinse and dry well
• resize and load

If roll sizing, would do that after the cleaning and decap to keep the equipment clean and sort out any damaged cases beforehand.

Nobody cleans primer pockets?

[tabascoz28]

I don't think I've had a crimped primer pocket that stopped a primer from going in.

I used to clean primer pockets but I haven't for many many thousands, never an issue.

I used to trim 9mm, now I've realized I keep finding once fired 9mm at the range.

9mm is the fastest and easiest reloading process I do, love it.

Me too.

Here's my process.

• decap
• wet tumble with pins
• rinse and dry well
• resize and load

If roll sizing, would do that after the cleaning and decap to keep the equipment clean and sort out any damaged cases beforehand.

Except the roll sizing part. Decapping before tumbling cleans the primer pocket.

Roll size? Never heard of it. Please explain.

Nobody cleans primer pockets?

I've only loaded a hundred thousand or so pistol rounds, and I've never cleaned a primer pocket.

Roll size? Never heard of it. Please explain.

It's a machine that feeds and sizes brass. It's super high volume.

Roll sizing

Roll size machines size the entire length of the brass, eliminating any bulge near the bottom. Here's a video YouTube Link

Ya. Sometimes you can buy roll sized brass from vendors who process a lot of brass. Not something you do in your garage.

If buy roll sized brass, I still run it through my sizer. Brass thickness varies and roll sizing only makes the OD consistent. OD's don't hold bullets.

I dry tumble, then reload on a progressive press so primer gets removed and new one in one step.

I sometimes remove primers, then wet tumble with stainless pins.

I have found that if I de-prime first and then dry tumble, I will get media stuck in the primer flash hole, rare but its happened, so I dry tumble with primers in, wet tumble with primers out.

I only roll size occasionally. I roll size all range pickups, so I will wait until I have a lot of range pickups to do roll size. No issues with my guns if I don't roll size but my son-in-laws HK compact will get misfeed's on bulged cases, so I roll size range pickups for his gun.
