Mikelindsey Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I know you should tumble rifle rounds after reload to make sure all lube is off. Do you have to do the same with pistol rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rod Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I use Hornady One Shot and just let it evaporate after loading. No tumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If you do a quick search you will find this is brought up about once a week. I think there are currently two active threads on lubing and removing lube from cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams30gts Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 All my rounds except match rifle rounds go into the tumbler with some corn. Come out nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan550 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 All my rounds except match rifle rounds go into the tumbler with some corn. Come out nice and clean. Be careful of JHP ammo in pistol rounds being tumbled in corn cob! It's really easy to get some of that stuff in the hollow point and believe me, it falls into the action of the pistol at the most inopportune time!

Iowa Fox Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 What do you do with match rifle rounds ??? If they are match rifle rounds each one gets wiped with a rag with a LITTLE mineral spirts while giving a final inspection of each piece before boxing.

Steve RA Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 As OCD as some of the BR folks are I thought maybe they licked them dry and slept with them overnite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willz Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I used a mixture of 90-99% alcohol with lanolin mixed 20:1. Pretty much what Dillon spray lube is. I found 16:1 a bit too thick. Spray it, let it dry. Works great on rifle and pistol cases. I tumble them for 20-30 min to get the lube off the loaded rounds then I wipe then down with a dryer sheet to get the walnut dust off them.
