Works well... especially if you load 223/308 "plinking" rounds.
This is what I do;
First pass:
1. I dump the brass in the tumbler for 30 minutes or so, to clean off the range dirt.
2. Lube the cases using Lanolin/Isopropyl Alcohol in a 1/8 mixture. Let sit for a minute to let the Isohol evaporate.
3. Run through the Dillion 650 press set up as follows:
4. Station 1 has Universal Lee Decapping die.
5. Station 3 has Dillon 1200 sizer/trimmer. This is adjusted to FL size and trim to length every case.
6. Back into the tumbler to remove the case lube.
I'm going to change step 6 from tumbler to water tumbler.
