Hi. I am just getting into reloading, and haven’t gotten a lot of equipment yet, so I am using what I got till I can afford something better.
I picked up an Iosso case cleaning kit for $10 at my local gun shop and it works very well.
I was reading through my Lyman reloading handbook about reloading pistol ammo, and they suggest for ultrasonic or rotary tumblers that use a liquid cleaning solution, that it is best to use a separate die for strictly decapping fired cases prior to cleaning.
Well, I do not have a separate die for decapping. I think depriming would be a good idea, so the primer pockets could also be cleaned when using the solution.
My question is… should I resize/decap an uncleaned case, to take advantage of this case cleaner being able to clean the primer pocket as well? Or is it unwise to resize dirty cases. So I should just leave the spent primers in until cases are cleaned?
