9mm brass process?

[newbie1234]

Here my pistol 27 steps brass processing:
1) Decap with Hornady Universal decap die.
2) Wet tumpling: Dish washer soap (my wife uses Palmolive) with Lime Shine, hot water, no steel media. Then let it dry under the sun.
3) Reload with Lee 4 dies set: Resize, Expand, Bullet Seat, Crimp. (Lee progressive press or Lee turret press).
4-27) Shoot.

26 maybe 25 for me, dry tumble, lube and load. Shoot.....

I have the simplest and best processing of all. Dirty brass gets de-primed, tumbled with steel pins and then roll-sized. Blue Ridge Brass then sends it back to me. All I had to do was put the dirty brass in a box and mail it USPS 2nd day. Cost: About $120 for 4000 cases. See how simple that is.

If done by me: 1) Deprime with Lyman die, 2) wet tumble steel pins, Lyman Turbo Sonic and Lemi-Shine, 3) Dry in Lyman stacked case dryer. 3) Load using Lee 4 Die Set.

$120 ???

Is that pesos or American money?

This for pistol brass. I don’t know of any pistol round that needs primer pocket cleaning or trimming. Only brass I spend more time on is 10MM and that’s because I max it out and want the cases to be pristine. But still, tumble and into the Dillon.

Dry tumble, reload, shoot.

9mm if fairly clean (no mud / dirt) goes like this for me:

-Sorted by headstamp
-Deprimed (I like a shiny primer pocket )
-Tossed in bag of case lube (one shot or lanolin / alcohol)
-Resized
-Wet tumbled
-Flared
-Prime Lee auto bench prime
-Charged
-Seat / crimp / FCD

The LEE APP changed my methods because I'm not concerned as much about "dirty brass" going through my press. If it's nasty I'll wet tumble for 30 min or so just to get the chunks off.

Same money that they use in the Dominican Republic and Ecuador.

Blue Ridge Brass, a tip I got on CG and I will pass it on. I filled a large USPS flat rate box with dirty 9mm, 4000 cases. I enclosed a check for $120.00, $100 for the processing and $20 for shipping back USPS. It takes about 8 weeks if they are busy. Nice family business.

Deprimed, wet tumbled and roll sized. They came back looking like new and ready to load. That caused me to buy a wet tumbler.

8 weeks ??

8 weeks ??

YES, patience my friend (another free tip). I sent mine in June which is probably his busy season. I slowed it down by sending a check in order to save the CC use fee. With a check he doesn't cash it until the work is done and then won't send until the check clears.

I checked around for brass processing and he has the best prices. I only sent about half of my brass so I had brass to shoot while I waited.

This is a joke, right? I grab 400 9mm cases, toss them in my tumbler, two hours later they're ready to load.

My Dillon sizes and de primes (and primes, and flares, and drops powder, and drops a bullet, and crimps it) all with one pull of the handle.

Not crazy...

This doesn't seem to be out of line IF he needed the rollsizing. There is (was?) a guy in Riverside doing rollsizing for about $0.01/case Rollsize service. Fully processed 9mm (not rollsized) is in the marketplace for more than BrassCase paid. Rollsizers seem to start around $800. If the rollsizing is important for his gun, I think he did ok.

Same money that they use in the Dominican Republic and Ecuador.

$120 and 8 weeks. For 9mm cases. Damn. I'll stick to my method. Tumbled deprime reload then shoot. No extra cost. No time wasted on waiting. I would rather spend that $120 on reloading supplies.

Wet tumble (no media) for 30 minutes, dry, reload, shoot, repeat.

After looking into rollsizers, I decided to build my own based on the rollsizer.com unit's basic design.
