I use this as well. Wipes off easily, and a few minutes in corn cob media will do the trick for larger batches.I’m probably one of the few fans of the Hornady wax in the little tin tub. I just wipe it off with a towel, I feel like it gives the case a little protection also.
That's all I ever do. -AlI use imperial wax when full length resizing. I normally just wipe them down with a rag. Anything you guys do or use?
Easy Peasy......nothing special, and works just fine.That's all I ever do. -Al
Same here (One Shot). After I size, I drop cases onto a terry towel, and roll them around a little just to knock off any "excess", then continue.Frankly, I've just about become a "One Shot" convert on everything except the toughest sizing jobs. With One Shot and bottle neck rifle cases, I put the cases in loading blocks and spray on and in the necks to begin with, then dump them in a flat pan and hit them again while giving them the shake rattle and roll. Let them dry very well, and then size, and everything else. I don't worry about removing the One Shot that is on them, or in the necks. jd
I've been using a paper towel.
Paper towels with 91% alcohol.I use imperial wax when full length resizing. I normally just wipe them down with a rag. Anything you guys do or use?
If you mandrel, do the mandrel, trim, and chamfer after wet tumbling. Use a coated mandrel that doesn't require lube and or graphite.I use alcohol. it's quicker than wet tumbling/ultrasonic cleaning and drying. Also, wet tumbling can damage the case mouths.
Never thought of using rice. May try that. Still polishes up good too?Hmmm??? Am sure glad I use medium sized rice instead of corn cob meal as I don't like having to remove anything from the flash holes. With the rice, there's only a few primer pockets where a grain of rice gets stuck in and is easily removed.![]()
Be careful with that stuff Charlie. Alcohol will do the same job without all the health hazards.I rinse the cases in pure acetone after the last sizing operation. I wipe them off using a clean paper towel and a Q-tip inside the neck. Then place them in the loading block upside down to let them dry.

Nothing to it with a good heavy microfibre towel laid in you lap. Couple three twists and put in the box.The thought of manually wiping each case to remove lube is ridiculously tedious. I tried that in the beginning but that alone will give you arthritis in your fingers!
Looks great! My son says I am a brass snob. Yes I like it to look clean. Will give that a go. Using crushed walnut media now. Its pretty small and will clog the flash holes from time to time.Yes, it polishes up just fine. Just use medium grain rice, not long grain rice or you're wind up with a big job or removing rice from flash holes.
Here a pic of my brass after rice tumbling:
