Case Lube Removal After Loading

[577/450]

Carbide dies. I have never used any kind of lube on straight wall pistol cases.

RCBS water based lube, then a quick rinse in the sink before drying and returning to the tumbler.

I found that a quick spray of case lube (Lyman, I think) on the inside wall of a 2 liter ice cream tub and a couple hundred (500... 600?) 9mm cases shaken around for a few seconds sure lowered the force required on the handle of the press, even with carbide dies. I don't bother cleaning the miniscule bit that gets transferred to the cases off.....

45 ACP and 38/357, I don't bother with the bucket. For some reason, the 9mm required more force to resize.

Me too. I use carbide pistol dies, but the 9mm needs a bit of lube.

I clean then loaded rounds in the tumbler.

Once I'm done resizing I'll thrown the cases in SS tumbler for 1/2 hour.
