One other question..
Do you guys do any pre-cleaning of your brass, like a 5 gallon bucket and some warm water to get the sand and shit out?

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.
I have a purpose built wire mesh screen in a wooden frame I throw them in and swirl them around with a broom. I prop one side up with a piece of 4x4 and the angle really helps shake it loose.
Maybe a second business for you would be cleaning other folks brass?
I've read sever folks use this for tumbling brass.

I've really been thinking about the Frankford Arsenal rotary tumbler.
Its not going to do a huge amount of brass at one time. It will do 1k of 9mm, which is plenty for me at a time since its small and easy to store.

I think I posted about that before. As long as it can last, it handles more weight than the one I have and if that one had been available when I was buying I would have probably gotten it. I still don't like the time it takes to dry so wet tumbling will never be my primary cleaning method. For fast drying, I have put them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 200 until dry, but it's not my preference.

Those of you who load 9mm.
Do you check and remove the crimp on 9mm brass, or do you just hope for the best?
