Do you worry about small pieces of brass being left in the case if you don't clean after Trimming and chamfering or do you have a way of removing them not listed?@coldboreshot, My goal is to minimize steps, touching the brass as minimal as possible,and I only want to clean my brass once with Dawn and LemonShine. My brass never hits the ground, so I:
Anneal (AMP with mate)
Toolhead 1, Dillon 750
Spray with Oneshot in a ziplock bag
Decap
FL size with bushing die
SST (100 cases at a time)
Dry in a dehumidifier
Trim & chamfer (Giraud)
Toolhead 2
Gage pin
Charge powder
Seat bullet
Very few touches and only 1 cleaning cycle.
No, the Giraud trims with the cases in a vertical position, necks down. Never had an issue.Do you worry about small pieces of brass being left in the case if you don't clean after Trimming and chamfering or do you have a way of removing them not listed?
Well, yes.... it is called ultrasonicYou can use the wet method with a tumbler, but can you use the wet method if you are not tumbling and are instead using a vibratory bowl?

An ultrasonic cleaner is something else. I am looking at the vibratory bowls that we use, which I have. I keep seeing people talking about "vibratory tumbling", and my reaction is "?????????". "They are using a unit that vibrates AND rotates?????".

"Tumbling" refers to the action the cases go through (i.e tumbling with the media) rather than the entire bowl tumbling.
AFAIK nobody has successfully used wet SS pins in a vibratory tumbler. (I have heard of a few that unsuccessfully did though.)
HF tumbler? Not sure what you mean. The brand name of my old rock tumbler is Lortone. I paid $15 for it at a farm sale. The same model is still made, at over $200 new. For $15, it wasn't worth making one. PVC, shafts, bearings, something for a frame, and especially a motor will cost far more.
Tumbling only happens in a Rotary machine, that is why they are called "Tumblers", and then there are vibratory machines. Any turning of the product in a vibratory machine is not "tumbling". It is merely moving or "mixing" through vibratory action.
There are no "Vibratory Tumblers".

You don't say?
