The OP is using a wet tumbler....no walnut or corncob will be used. Maybe stainless pins, but they are not required to get nice clean brass. It takes twice as long in my tumbler without the stainless pins.
I’m about to start reloading for the first time(by myself). I won’t be loading anything until I get my FA Intellidropper for Christmas that my parents wanted to get me for a gift, anyway, in the meantime, I wanted to start prepping my brass. What I was wanting to do is do all my depriming, trimming, resizing, etc. before I send them to the cleaner which is an RCBS wet tumbler. This isn’t the exact process that my Hornady handbook suggests. My thoughts for this process is that I can get the primer pockets and everything else clean, and I can grab clean brass weight sort it and start the loading process. Any problems with this? Pros and cons? Any information or recommendations is much appreciated.
