[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 3093471, member: 12282"] Hey it's clear there are lots of methods that work. I will add a different twist/tip. I too tumble with lemishine and detergent, and a bit of armor-all car wash(has some wax). Separate out the pins and gunk under running warm water (happens to be softened water). If you dry that directly, you will get some spots and inconsistency. I've dried with oven, blew them out with air compressor etc. What I do now is this -- after I shake out the pins and as much water as is easy, I have a dedicated gallon of denatured ethanol. I put my lot of cases into a container and shake em around with the ethanol. ethanol is a great water dispersant. It can absorb tons of water. And it flows off the cases, no beads. I dump the ethanol back into the gallon. Can be re-used nearly forever, since the water to ethanol ratio is low. Then I tend to blow em out with air compressor (its handy for me) but I am not sure that's needed. Throw them on an old towel and they are beautiful in the AM. I tend to use powdered graphite after this process to slick up the necks and approximate the carbon people talk about. (and off topic, but anneal somewhere in there too -- all about neck tension consistency I think, though I am not where I would like to be in a perfect world) [/QUOTE]
