I came upon my long lost unopened virgin can of Dupont FF powder, I really need to shoot this up, perhaps on San Jacinto day.

I will load some 43 spanish cartridges and shoot the old Rem rolling block.Came across? That would be proudly displayed in my loading room.
Good info. I was mostly wanting something bigger. I have the small FA tumbler now and I only do about 200 223 at a time. Maybe 500 9mm at a time. Then there's all the sifting and dust. I figured the wet tumbler might be a little easier and no dust. I'm not worried about drying or draining if I can do more at once and do them in less time. Maybe I'll have to look into a quick dry tumble before sizing and then wet tumbler after to get rid of the lube and clean them up better.Because perfectly clean brass grabs the heck out of your dies. Go size a handful of super clean brass versus picked up OF brass with no cleaning. OF uncleaned will be easier to size and will not exhibit any sticking. Same with crimping, go put a real crimp on some super clean, ie like new brass, and a few hundred in your die will be sticking and you will have a beautiful brass ring to remove from your die. There will be a nice pop every piece as it struggles to release from your die.
Carbon acts like a lubricant, remove it and things get sticky quick. Maybe you won't see it if you run 100 pieces but run a few thousand and you notice real quick.
Got pissed off trying to figure out a .38/357 load and put my Lyman manual away. This shortage and lockdown can KMA.
To me, clean brass is harder to load is an internet myth or at least subject to opinion. Your mileage may vary.

As a low-volume reloader, I would have said Imperial Sizing Die wax.Lubing the brass with spray lube keeps my from sticking to the dies. It's a simple fix.![]()
Benchrest methods are a completely different and, to me, utterly fascinating world. The stuff done in that world is so different it deserves its own thread but I don't think we have enough benchresters here to sustain it.for my 6BR I used a benchrest method
