I saved my old Lee Challenger press for depriming, I de-prime with a universal decapper before cleaning, that way the primer pocket gets clean as well

Late to the party, but here goes:
1) Make bang noises 2) Tumble in corncob with polish 3) Decap / resize 4) Run through the ultrasonic 5) Trim, deburr, remove crimp etc My thought process is that tumbling before decapping cleans them up nicely and keeps the media out of the flash holes / primer pockets. I use wax for resizing lube, so the ultrasonic stage cleans all the wax off and cleans out the now-empty primer pockets. That way I can hold the brass easier when I'm deburring / decrimping on the prepcenter, and it really makes a difference in how dirty the primer pockets are. |
