tumbling primed brass

[ar15barrels]

im an idiot...i fl sized my band new lc brass then proceeded to prime all 500 cases. i totally forgot to clean the lube off by tumbling it. im worried about loading it with the lube in the case neck because i dont want the bullets setting back when chambering the round. so has anyone tumbled brass with primers without any problems?

Finish loading the ammo, then tumble it.

deprimed evrything without any problems.not exactly virgin brass anymore, but has a nice shine. probably went overboard but i have peace of mind now.

I swear, RCBS lube is probably the worst lube I ever used. Only the lube pad is good because it makes it quick to lube up lots of brass.

I've never removed Hornady OneShot. I don't think you're supposed to. Goes from the press to the gun.

For lanolin rifle rounds, I just tumble the loaded ammo.. Hasn't been a problem, and no media ends up in the flash hole that way.

One way you can remove the lube inside the neck is to use several Q-tips. Dip the Q-tips in a degreaser chemical just make sure the Q-tip is wet enough, moist but not dripping wet that it drips down to your primer.

When you clean the inside the neck, point the neck downwards, swab the inside once, and set the brass pointing down in your case tray. You can use the Q-tip till at least 15 to 20 times before replacing with a new one.

There should be no need to lube the inside of the necks. ONLY the case sides. Not the shoulder or neck. If you are reloading properly, You will tumble an hour or so to clean, then deprime, resize, trim, chamfer and reem, tumble again, then load. If your cases are sticking, It is the powder residue from resizing dirty cases. Clean your die and follow this procedure.
Don't resize a dirty case.

I am also new to reloading and I have lots of questions. I have been using lee pistol dies and decapping and sizing in 1 operation and then soaking the cases in cider vinigar, rinsing in real hot water and then dryinging them out for several days before procedeing with reloading. What's your thoughts on this
