Anyone here into firearms?

For priming the cases. I have 2 RCBS case primers. One set up for small primer, and the other for large primer.

I've been using the Lee Auto-prime... well, it's more semi-auto I suppose. I've worn out several of the arms that go between the thumb lever and the primer post...

I really need to find a better media than the green corn cob for cleaning cases. After about priming 500 rounds, my fingers are black...

For cleaning the cases. I've gone from the Lyman 1200 tumbler with corn cob, to walnut. To now using the Hornady Ultra Sonic.

Read about the new tumblers using stainless steel pins and soapy water for cleaning. It's got some nice reviews on it.

I just use the Harbor freight tumbler with crushed walnut. Its pretty messy and I dont like having to clean the cases afterwards. Theyll jam my resizing die if I dont clean the dust off well. Might go with the pin tumbler

With the Ultra Sonic. I dump the cases in there. Set the timer for 30 minutes, and temp at 140F. After they get done there. I put the cases in the Hornady dryer. 30 minutes and their done. Ready for the next step. No dust involved, and no digging media out of the primer pockets.

One of the problems I heard about the pin tumblers are the pins remaining in the cleaned cases.

Just like the corn cob. You have to shake the case to get the pins out.

I like the Lyman primer better. I think the RCBS was jamming up on me IIRC
