A little reloading trick from me

[urbanrifleman]

How long does it take to do about a thousand or a bit more?

Sandwich a bunch on a towel and wet them down and roll them around.

I just wipe them off after the sizing process, as I take them off the press.
..been using the Sprayway stuff for a while now. Really takes no time at all.

Thanks much! The acetone on a rag I've been using is hard on my hands and expensive.

Here is a suggestion from me.

Over the years I've come to the conclusion that when loading on the single stage press there's really only need for Redding or Hornady resizing wax. I get my fingers kind of greasy and just rub the case and go.

Most of the time I don't clean my cases in the stainless media unless they've been shot a whole bunch. But I always need a convenient way to wipe the wax off after reloading.

I've tried all different kinds of stuff to get rid of the wax. Here is the best stuff. Sprayway Glass Cleaner. It has no ammonia and is alcohol-based and makes quick work of the wax and leaves the cases squeaky clean. You can even put them away slightly wet and they will dry very quickly.

I buy it from Amazon. I hope this helps. Happy Resurrection Day!

A note here about glass cleaners in general. Those that have ammonia should not be used to clean brass. Bass is very susceptible to stress corrosion cracking with ammonia compounds.

This product doesn't contain ammonia and should not create any problems.

You don't wear gloves when using acetone?
