[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1319812, member: 52763"] Bottom line, in my opinion you have two choices, Dillon carbide .308 dies or wet tumbling. And wet tumbling works for any caliber with standard dies and cost less. :) [/SIZE][/SIZE][/LEFT][/QUOTE] I'm slightly confused. I assume you'd use a carbide sizing die because it won't wear out if you brass isn't clean. Am I correct? I'd get the wet tumbler w/SS pins, but normally my brass never gets so dirty that a dilute citric acid won't clean it very well. My 48 y/o Thumler Tumbler simply puts a high polish to my brass. The "NEVR DULL" easily & quickly took care of my other problem. with the tarnished necks & going back to using Wipe-Out for bore cleaning may have solved the tarnish I was getting in the necks. At 76 y/o I can't justify the cost for the wet tumbling since I have more time than most to get done what I want. There are some advantages to being an old fart. I never have the need to size anything other than the neck of my brass. It isn't needed with w "tight-necked" chamber. I use a Forster bump neck bushing die for that. I never have a need to expand the necks anymore If it weren't for these things & my age I would buy a wet tumbler & seriously consider the wet tumbling a & a few other things I've read on this website. A lot of positive input comes from this website. [/QUOTE]
