Started loading a new load. 180 Gr lead 40 S&W, good hard cast but the lube is getting caught around the case mouth and sometimes a little lead shaving gets in there also. Between the two I am getting some really nasty failure to chamber. Can I tumble the loaded rounds in some really coarse media to take off the lube or is that a no go ? I just had to hand inspect and clean enough to get me through a match for 10am today. I need a better way to do this. Cleaning every case by hand will not do, I need 2000 plus for a class in about 2 weeks. I already have new dies here (Fedex came today) so the issues with the lead shavings should be taken care of, but I still need to fix the lube issue. Any ideas ? Tumble it with corn cob maybe ?
