Since i only reload 357 at moment i use this handy little thing and a lump of wire wool.

Takes me about 4 seconds to do one case so i can plough through a box in minutes.
I'll probably get a tumbler or ultrasonic cleaner when i eventually start reloading the big stuff though.

I usually, take the rifle /rifles out of their slips. put them in the cellar.(unless they are wet) And join my shooting chums in the pub across the road. But I do only live live minutes from Moodys Down. I clean them when I get home. I don't really consider the empty cases at this stage. plenty of time later I usually resize them before I tumble them.

Apparently stainless steel media is the way to go - quicker, cleaner and no picking it out of the primer pockets, and no I don’t use it yet :(

i will be able to report on this very subject in a week or so .

I had one of those I blew it to bits in about 30 minutes think it was 7.62x54 I contacted Lee they said they would replace if I paid the postage.
To the States and back I dont think so.
I dont rate lee gear at all.

The Lee Auto prime is IMHO the best in the world for the money...

Not too keen on the rest of their reloading products...in favour of RCBS, Forster and others

Blimey! Do you have a 'Six million dollar man' bionic arm! :lol:

I've given mine some serious grief and it still works fine.
