[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2549121, member: 122715"] You'll want to minimize time rotary tumbling to avoid bell-mouthing your case necks. Very hot water, lots of detergent, lots of pins, a half hour should get your cases plenty clean. A rotary media separator will shake most of the pins out of the cases, even wet. After rotary tumbling with pins, I dry in the oven at 250 deg F for 30 minutes. One more session in the rotary media separator once everything is dry will usually yield a few more pins. I tried wet rotary tumbling after sizing, without pins, to clean off the lube. That whole batch of cases was bell mouthed - neck mouth ID was reduced by over .004". So now I just wipe the outside of the cases with a towel, and then throw them in a vibratory tumbler with corncob for an hour or so to clean lube out of the inside of the case neck. [/QUOTE]
