a tumbler and some walnut media is a great investment.  :tup:

use "ONESHOT" case lube and don't worry about it. Great product  never had a problem with it. Have used it for 7 years.

I remover the lube right after sizing. Just throw a few hundred in a big ziplock with dawn. Dump them out after shaking for a bit and rinse.

Just enough. I just don't feel like bothering with wiping each one down and don't own a tumbler. Putting case lube into my ultrasonic doesn't appeal to me.

My rounds, once loaded, are put into storage containers until use.

I use the Dillon brand lube and it takes just a tiny spray....I usually lay the number of cases out I plan on loading, spritz, roll with a sponge, load, check and gauge the rounds. Then, I lay 'em out, sprits with cleaner, roll, put in a case. I usually do about 20 at a time this way with powder checks at 1, 3, 10, and 20.

I throw mine in the corn cob media after sizing and let it run for about 1/2 hour.

just never occurred to me to wash them actually seems more time consuming than a quick wipe....I also usually wipe them as I prime them that way I can check for any weirdness ..... not in any sort of rush to get done so works for me :dunno:

Tumbling loaded ammo is not a problem, done all the time.

I don't do anything... just load and shoot. The lube is pretty well worn off after sizing and loading and handling anyways.

I size, then trim to length and chamfer inside and outside of case mouths, and then tumble.
ive found that when I was using lee case lube in a tube, It wasnt too sticky and I could just throw it in the tumbler after sizing.. But now Im using the Cabelas spray type case lube, and it gets really sticky and I use alot. I spray lube directly in to my die before I even start, and then hose them down with case lube about 30 at a time and shake them up in a bowl. After sizing with the spray lube, I use a bowl and collander to wash them with dish soap and then rinse them, before moving on to trimming and case prep. I like to leave my brass in the tumbler for like 6hrs at a time, so it comes out looking factory new.
