I am gonna ask some questions here as I have been doing things the same way for over 10 years now and I'm wondering how others are doing things or if things have changed any.
So since I have been reloading I have always tumbled my brass, then resized/decapped. Now with rifle I use the Hornady One Shot case lube, then I have always tumbled the cases again to get the lube off. But obviously this adds a lot of time back on as I have to separate brass from corn media, and double check all flash holes and pop the media out of them if it gets stuck in there(which is common) then I can continue on as normal.
So my question is, do you folks tumble the case lube off, or do you just move right on to measuring, trimming...etc? Is there any negative effects to leaving the case lube on the cases? will it gum up the barrel at all? Or should I just continue on as I always have? I generally load 1000-3000 rounds a month and will generally shoot 1000-2000 rounds a month.
Thanks
