wet tumbling?

I believe that de-capping used brass will save my re-loading dies by keeping them clean and not forcing any dirt or grit or dry medias into the die. I bought the least expensive but well rated rock tumbler I could. I also like not having to clean primer pockets with the pocket cleaning tool. If you have arthritis you know what I mean. I cleaned out my reloading die(re-sizing) with wd-4o and they were full of grit , media and old gunpowder residue. I buy bulk second use brass and feel this is a huge advancement over dry vibratory cleaning. Plus there is less dust in my reloading area to deal with. I bought a large capacity fine mesh colander with a bandana to cover the small mesh holes. I then remove the carts. and leave behind the SS media. You will also need a magnetic pickup tool from an auto parts dealer, your rinsing off the soap in the sink and wil loose a few small pieces. When I want to load up some ammo I just lubem' let m' dry and start resizing.
