My friend and I just started reloading (with LNL Progressive, unreal all the things they thought of) and are having some problems. We bought a frankfort arsenal tumbler and walnut media but when the cases come out they have a dirty film and are anything but shiny. We couldn't get the media out of the brass so we soaked it in soapy water but that just made it stick more.
We thought tumbling would do everything we wanted, but it didn't.
So now the cases are drying out what would you suggest to get media out of cases? We were thinking depriming and blow compressed air in the priming hole and try and get it all out. Is lubing that important on the cases? Our carbide dies says never need lubrication. Also do they need to be shiny/how do you make them shiny?
Thanks in advance. I read the new to reloading sticky post but got nothing for how to clean brass just that we need to.
