9mm reloading on dillon press vs single stage

[Doctor]

the dillon is progressive, my rcbs is single stage and for the rcbs, i used one shot, deprimed and then tumbled and did the rest of the reloading.for the dillon, should i tumble first, then use the one shot and do the rest of the process? But that leaves the one shot on without cleaning. what is the correct way to do the reload

Lube pistol rounds? Not necessary with carbide dies.

Some like reloading lubed pistol brass better, but if so, it can be very light and just leave it on.

Personal preference. For me I tumble, use one-shot, load, tumble. I load on a Dillon 650.

after i make the bullets i run them in the tumbler for about 15 minutes. it cleans off all the lube

Not necessary but so much better.

You really don't need to remove the primer before tumbling with pistol calibers, so it's a moot point.

I do the same thing, except I use homemade lube made out of Iso-Heet and liquid lanolin. I only tumble the loaded rounds for about 15 minutes.

You're making life hard on yourself. Pistol brass - tumble from range, lube lightly w/OS if desired, let dry, load. Leave it on or tumble loaded rounds briefly, done.
