    Finer grit corn cob media will not get stuck in flash holes. I also like adding a little mineral spirits to vibratory for better case cleaning.

    I rest the wifes iron on back of RCBS mounting plate. Temp of Lube-a-matic reaches 115 degrees. This is enough heat to soften the hardest lubes such as Canuba Red 190.

    I use no lube when sizing and seating GC nose first. No lube helps the bullet and sizer stem to fall freely into hand after being pushed thru.
