Tumbler or Sonic Cleaner

[enfield303t]

Cinders, the 45's were not worked at all so need to be deprimed etc for the next step. We just wanted to try to see how good it was, am impressed to no end.

We just finished 100 .308's and they were already resized and trimmed to length and they are just as good as the 45's. The big thing is the inside of the cases are clean which you just don't get using a dry medium. From now on I will deprime, then clean then resize and trim to length. A clean case will be easier on the die which is not a big deal but helps.

The one negative is the pins occasionally will stick in the flash hole, not much of a issue in .308 but easier in a .223, I was told rarely you will find a .308 with 2 or 3 stuck in the flash hole, too large for a single pin to stick in it. There is a great magnet designed to pick up the pins and a pull of the handle and they are released. Also a "basket" available to rotate them in using clean water to rinse off the soap/lemi shine used in the tumbler.

Shook them in a towel and will now let them air dry for a couple of days which is overkill IMO. You can dry them in the oven but won't bother with that.

Have two friends that use this method and one has been on my case for a couple years to buy one, my only regret is not getting it in the beginning. Anyone new to reloading and needs a walnut vibrator in excellent shape...I won't ship it but if passing thru the price is right.
