[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2146269, member: 112192"] Thanks guys, I watched a couple videos on the salt bath method and I like the looks of that over the torch method. Couple process questions as I try to figure out in my head how / where to fit this into my reloading process. Right now I use a universal decapping die to de-prime my cases, then wet tumble, resize, trim / chamfer and de-burr, prime, load. Since you have to dunk the cases in a cooling bath after a dip in the salt would it make sense to de-prime, then salt bath and drop them straight into the wet tumbler to cool and then I can go straight to tumbling? I just hate the idea of wet tumbling and drying them, only to have to dunk and dry them again. Not that it's the end of the world, just time consuming. Or is it best to salt bath clean cases to eliminate all the case residue and dirt gunking up the salt bath? I guess I could always dry tumble the case for an initial cleaning, then salt bath and wet tumble? [/QUOTE]
