Hey,
So I was using the Hornady 1 shot case lube. I was doing a 15min dry tumble in walnut after sizing and trimming. to make sure it was squeaky clean before loading. I know it was supposedly fine to leave it on the casings but I did not like to do it.
I recently found out that the 1 shot is not particularly healthy and am working on transitioning to a lanolin type case lube. I also transitioned to wet tumbling to get away from the walnut dust and dust residue on the casings. It is so much better even if drying the cases it a bit of a pain.
This causes a bit of an issue for me as I will need to remove the lanolin case lube, and my primary option would be wet tumbling.
Will doing a short wet tumble after sizing mess up the casings? I was thinking 15min to 1hr, depending on what I needed. The other option is to go back to the walnut that I was hoping to phase out.
