[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1152952, member: 77249"] I suggest you buy a De-Capping only die to fit the cases you are going to be cleaning. This allows cleaning of primer pockets. and you have clean cases to run through the sizing die. Remember there is 4 tiers of case cleaning, Before you dive. (1.) A way to turn the case (Eletric Drill) and a wad of 0000 steel wool. (2.) Vibrating cleaner with Walnut Shells or Ground Corn Cob media with a bottle of polishing compound. You have to clean the primer pockets and it does not clean the case inside much. The compound will lock inside the case and you have to use a paper clip or such to get it out. (3.) The Ultrasonic Wet Clean with a chemical additive like Hornady or Lyman have. These clean the inside, outside and primer pockets, The cases are clean, but do not put a bright shine of Walnut Hull polish media. With this you have to rinse and dry cases before reloading. (4.) By using a liquid and stainless steel pin media it cleans cases, inside, outside and primer pockets, Gives the cases a good shine. But have to be dried also before use. I started with 1. Went to 2. with a Midway 1292 Viberator, early name of Frankford Arsenal today. Then 3. with a Lyman Ultra Sonic wet bath. After cases are Resized, trimmed and chamfered I run them in the Walnut Media to shine them up and make sure I did not miss any case lube. Good Luck and happy loading with the one you pick. [/QUOTE]
