I am new to reloading and have a question about case storage.
I have about 320 once fired 30-06 Supperformance brass that I have so far kept in the boxes that I bought it in. They have not been deprimed or cleaned in any way yet, some of them are a few years old.
Up until now I didn't think to much about them but I recently a watched a few videos about wet tumbling brass with the Frankfort Arsenal tumbler. That got me thinking about cleaning in the following presses....
1) Deprime and size brass with my Redding press and dies
2) Trim cases with the Little Crow trimmer, not purchased yet
3) Wet tumble cases in Frankford Arsenal tumbler, also not purchased yet.
4)Dry cases in the sun/oven/dehydrator
5) Vacuum seal cases in boxes until I start reloading.
I don't know when I will start reloading because I have an additional 320 loaded rounds to shoot, I when on a buying spree when it seemed that prices of ammo would skyrocket around 2009.
My some questions that are rolling around in my mind are...
1)Has anyone used the Imperial Sizing Wax with the application media? I will be working my basement so an aerosol case lube like Hornady One Shot is not recommend.
2) I plan on use it Dawn dish soap in the tumble. I also saw that Lemi Shine was used but it may cause issues , something to do with a chemical reaction to the brass.
Like I said, I am just getting things set up at the moment and that moment might not be for a while.
