I'm using my dillon for pistol reloading. I'm not concerned about how clean the brass. More looking for opinions of people in my situation. Does anyone just shoot, then use dirty brass with the dillon? Just hate having a progressive press but then basically got to use it in single stage to deprime then wash dry and then finally use it in progressive mode
Probably worth it to buy an inexpensive dry tumbler so you can process the brass that you'll run through the progressive. Not much point to interrupting a progressive loading process just so you can use a more complicated wet brass cleaning process.
Dirty primer pockets are no issue. That's the equivalent of worrying that you look like crap in your tuxedo because you didn't take the time to pick out your belly-button lint.
Forget it and don't let it trouble your mind again.
