WoW!
Guess I like nice an shiny brass...my stuff spends a night in the tumbler, using walnut media...
I clean the carbon out of the necks with a bore brush on a pistol cleaning rod...
I lube the cases using Amzoil version of WD 40 in a blue camping frying pan..
I neck size with a Lee Collet Die.. and then if the shoulder needs bumping back
I use a Redding Body Die, or pull the spindle out of a larger bore case...
such as a 308 die with the spindle removed, makes a body die for the 7/08, 260 or 243...
outer necks give a quick between the finger and thumb treatment with fine steel wool..
if I want the brass nice and shiny in a short period of time, I pour a cap full of Mineral Spirits
in with the Walnut Media...
I anneal every 4th reload and also normally use less than full power loads, where
my pressure is running in the range of the old Mauser cartridges or 30/30s...
I get a lot of miles out of my brass...40 plus reloads on most of my brass isn't a big deal...
