Hi guys a friend and I are about to start reloading, on a single stage press. For now I think we're just going to start with pistol calibers. We're having different points of view regarding case cleaning and depriming. After reading through his speer loading manual, he's planning to deprime as a first step then wet clean his brass with soap and water. Because he thinks his brass is too dirty to be cleaned by the tumbler. AFter that deprime the brass, then clean the brass in the tumbler.
My opinion is, that's the whole point of the nice lyman pro magnum tumbler he bought, to clean brass. Just clean the brass with the tumbler (that's what it's for) then deprime the brass when it's being resized. Why add an extra step and spend more money for an extra part?
