Cleaning sizing lube
After full length resizing on rifle brass, what is the easiest/best way to remove case lube? Can you do a bunch in a tumbler?
I do single stage with a rockchucker FWIW. |

If it's not too many cases I'll wipe them clean with paper towels. More than 100 cases and I'll chuck them into the tumbler. The problem with the tumbler method is media will get stuck in the flashhole after FL resizing.

I use the 24 grit crushed walnut from Harbor Freight for removing lube in the tumbler. It's fine enough that it doesn't get stuck in the primer pockets. I generally run it with some mineral spirits and some nu finish polish.
I use the 12 grit for the first clean and use the same mineral spirits and nu finish. Stuff is pretty cheap about 25 bucks for 25 pounds and it does a good job. |

Zilla crushed walnut lizard bedding from Petco. $7 bag fills a tumbler twice. Doesn't stick in primer pockets. Add a capful of NuFinish before tumbling off the sizing lube, makes 'em nice and shiny.

Hornady One-Shot spray lube.
No greasy fingers! No oily cases! No cleanup! Yay!

I've had the Zilla bedding get stuck in the flashholes as well. What I do is set up my first station with a decapper and it pushes out anything stuck in the hole. That's if you're using a progressive. I typically load rifle rounds on the single though.
