After tumbling fired brass, I am using the Dillon spray on case lube and then sizing my rifle brass. After trimming, cleaning the case neck and primer pocket, how are you guys de-lubing the brass. I have been using a clean cloth and just wipe down each piece as part the process and it serves as a good way to inspect each piece. I have heard you can also put it back in your tumbler. So what works best for you?

How do you de-lube brass after sizing?

Tumble an hour of two - you DO NOT want sizing lube on your cases when you fire them - besides being a collector of dust which can scratch your chamber it can raise chamber pressure and also hamper the round getting a proper seal resulting in some blow back.Last edited by Timberwolf; 04-01-2008, 4:29 PM.I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.
As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.Comment

By no means am i trying to thread jack, but what do you do if you're using sizing wax - the solid kinda case lube that you just rub on with your finger??
Do you need to clean the stuff off? I loaded a few cartridges with out putting any lube in the mouth of the case with out probs.The dude abides...Comment

When using the Imperial wax it goes on so thin that i doubt that it'd do much to your media.
I've been using the imperial stuff lately, but what happens if i don't lube the inside of the case mouth? It resizes and seats just fine.The dude abides...Comment

I clean all my cases in hot water with simple green before I add any components to them. Then I dry them in the laundry drier using the stationary rack so they don't get water spots.www.culinagrips.com

Tumble for half an hour to an hour depending on how well used the media is at the time...Randall Rausch
