So I've gone from corn cob tumbling and a single stage press to Lee Loadmaster, Lee APP, and wet tumbling. I'm pretty lost as to what I should do...
The good thing is I've got the Lee Loadmaster running great, I mean super smooth! Was easy to do really.
The Lee APP press is ok, but requires some setting up. But it's fast once it gets going.
Wet tumbling is where I should have been from the start. Was a waste of money not doing it.
But here is where I need help. I've had the Lee APP setup for about a year now but never used it until yesterday. It was going to help me with the single stage to speed it up but now that I have the Loadmaster I'm struggling to find a use for it. I will probably always use it to size powder coated boolits but someone on here suggested using it as a universal decapping station prior to wet tumbling.
So my main question is if I don't deprime before wet tumbling will that be an issue? My plan has been wet tumble, rinse, rinse, and then cook them in the oven at 250 degrees to dry. I don't think this will clean the primer pocket though.
But if I do deprime off the Lee Loadmaster what would I use the first hole for? The second hole is priming and I resize on that station.
Basically:
1) Should I deprime before wet tumbling or is it that big of a deal to wet tumble with primers in place?
2) If I don't deprime on station 1 on the Loadmaster what could I utilize that spot for?
