[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3092130, member: 84442"] First step for me is full length sizing and trimming to length. I then wet tumble range brass with Dawn Ultra and Lemi-Shine which makes it look new and cleans out the primer pockets. From the wet tumbler I rinse the brass then dump it directly into my dry tumbler with fine corn cob media which has been treated with Nu-Finish car wax. 15-30 minutes in the corn cob and the brass is completely dry and protected from tarnishing and water spots. After this, I will do any further brass prep that is needed before loading. Existing brass that I have previously wet cleaned and prepped just gets sized and checked with a light dry tumble to remove any sizing lube. Doing this preserves the carbon inside the case neck which aids in consistent bullet seating. [/QUOTE]
