I posted this photo a long time ago and there is a thread around it that I can't currently find. You're not going to accomplish this with dry tumbling.

The only thing I don't like is inspecting cases for pins still in them.Originally Posted by AB
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Never had that issue. I run them under moving water in a squirrel cage while wet and then squirrel cage them again when they are dry. Finally I run a magnet over them.
Do you reload 223?

Nope. I’m not much of a rifle guy.
LOL ,Says the guy that can shoot the wings off a fly at a hundred yards with a pistol. Some us need all the help we can get just to hit the general area of the bullseye.
Luck is the phenomena created when Preparation meets Opportunity .
I now use a Lyman ultra sonic cleaner,rinse them in water dry with a hair dryer then run them for about 20 minutes in dry corncob media.all the primer pockets are clean also.
(nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!
Do the primer pockets come out pretty clean after ultrasonic? I’m with Mapper about not having to dry, but I also don’t like cleaning the primer pockets. I also wouldn’t want to dry tumble after ultra sonic. If they come out of the ultra sonic cleaner with pretty clean primer pockets, that may be the best way to go and just let them air dry for a few days.
I use a HF ultrasonic and it gets the brass and pockets clean. Not clean like thumbing with steel pins, but the dirt is gone, its just not super shiny brass. I use it for small batches of rifle stuff.

That’s mostly what I reload. I’ve been thinking about trying a sonic. Small sonics are relatively inexpensive.
