[QUOTE="Eric H, post: 2958724, member: 102309"] All are great suggestions. Please don't run dirty brass through your brand new sizing die. My process is: 1. De-prime with a depriming die 2. Clean using teaspoon of Dawn (removes oil and grease) and teaspoon of Lemi-shine to brighten in liquid tumber with steel media and dry. 3-4 hours is sufficient. I use a 1"x6" board drilled and small dowels inserted at an angle holding 60 pieces of brass upside down for the drying process. 3. Once dry, anneal and size. (I check datum and set die to bump shoulder .002 after fireforming before sizing.) Once set, you shouldn't have to adjust unless you have more than one rifle in that cartridge. 4. Trim, chamfer and de-bur. I use a plastic green scouring pad to smooth the mouth of the brass. (Ensure you wipe down your brass to remove all excess wax) 5. Prime and load Works for me. [/QUOTE]
