Still need to take care of those, and the wife is leaving town.

So do any of you resize and deprime your 223 brass before cleaning or after?

If you watch Pawn Stars and are up on the recent arrest, this might make your day:

You should clean before you resize. I deprime before I clean with a universal deprimer.

Clean before priming...

 

[actaeon277]

If you deprime before cleaning, you'll spend a bit of time with media stuck in primer pocket and flash hole.

 

[1775usmarine]

For 223 I wouldn't mind as I decided to clean the primer pockets. Everything else I clean then deprime and resize.

 

[Ericpwp]

It's kind of a pia to get them really clean. I put them through countless cycles in the ultrasonic.

I use a primer pocket cleaning tool on rifle...

pistol just gets tumbled

Do you tumble them in walnut shells + do an ultrasonic bath? Or just ultrasonic?

I find walnut shells in a vibratory machine work well.

 

[Ericpwp]

I'll do the walnut shells after the round is loaded sometimes to get the lube off. You can't tumble 5.7, it has a coating ,that is how I got into the ultrasonic.
Do you walnut pre or post us?

 

[Ericpwp]

These spent a long time in just the ultrasonic.

Golden bullets? If so they are junk! Never had anything but problems with them.

If anyone wants to come I should have enough gear to share.

Back from trap shooting. Just a tad rusty not picking up the Ol' 12 ga for 8 months. Glad the rain decided not to ruin everyone's evening.

Saturday is looking promising weather wise. I'm hoping to come and hang for once (and shoot) instead of working at the range. We loaded 10,530 targets into the traps last Saturday at the end of the day. That sucked, but should get us through until next weekend.

I do walnut with a little car wax added before I dump the brass. I rigged the primer pocket cleaning tool on my rotary tool and it cleans them in seconds compared by hand. I had a feeling this was going to happen I would find a way to motorize some of the process when it comes to my 223 brass.

I started out with 223 brass I had tumbled from years past, lubed sized and deprimed, re tumbled and went to town on the primer pocket and crimp if any. I have the rest of the batch ready to re tumble. I don't really want to re tumble twice as I don't want wipe excess lube by hand since I'm doing my 223 on a single stage.

My goal is to reload all the brass I have ready now throughout the year, and then find another 120mm can to throw the reloads I've shot in so i don't waste time on the crimps again. I would like to get somewhere near 5k loaded any ready since I know I don't have a need to shoot either of my AR's on a monthly basis just from the time I had shooting in the service. Once I get 5k loaded and stashed then I will probably break them out more as I will need to brush up on my marksmanship skills with what little qual books I have from the Corps.


This INGO lower if my info is correct will probably get turned into a 9mm or build one with a stamp and find a good silencer. I was just wondering if I could save a tumble by lubing my dirty 223 brass and doing the resizing and depriming but it seems I should continue how I started.

i would LOVE to shoot this match, but with the issues I am still having with my knee and foot, I'm gonna have to pass on shooting it....
