I am thinking about reloading soon. i have read several books on it so far. but none of them address my question. With fired casings, do you clean the cases or not? If so, how? If not, why? Thanks for the help, lojack |

While a tumbler is really nice, it isn’t a necessity. When I first started reloading many years ago, I just washed the cases in soapy water, followed by clean water and a good drying. I never had any problems. That said, tumblers are a good idea. If you’re not using carbide sizing dies, any grit left on the case can become embedded in the die and then scratch every case you run through it. Even if you are using a carbide die, the grit on a case may wind up scratching that case as you size it. |
