rcbs makes a seperator

I only tumble my fired brass. My pistol brass goes directly through the reloading process afterward.

After tumbling, rifle brass gets lubed, resized, then is washed in simple green and hot water and rinsed thoroughly before being left to dry for 2 or 3 days. It won't see the tumbler and media again.

Match ammo is weighed and segregated for the 300, 600, and 1000 yard lines, primed and loaded.

No danger of plugged flash holes.

I tumble before I deprime, empty media outta the brass,run through the deprimer it knocks the primer out and cleans the media out of the flash hole Kenny

Dont know what your issue is... i use lyman corn cob media and have NON that sticks in the flash hole.... are you using a seperator?

got the sifter type that goes on the top of tumbler you dump into. still get alot of pockets packed full even let brass sit in the pan with it running after media is out and let them bounce in the pan

maybe try a rotary seperator... works for me.... or you could try violently shaking the sifter..... all of the casings need to be flipped end over end at least 4 or 5 times while banging into each other in order to get the media out.... i also dont polish unprimed brass very often.....

do you have an air compressor? if so maybe you could just hold the cases and blow some high pressure air into them to get the stuff out so you dont have to poke it all out by hand

of course the easy answer is to only tumble brass with the spent primer in them and then when you resize and deprime it will clear your flash hole.

i run them thru quick then deprime and size then let them run again for a while to clean primer pocket that way i don't have to brush them by hand. Do you not mess with cleaning the primer pocket?
Thanks

I don't mess with the pockets unless the get really bad. I look at them when I'm priming, if they're bad I brush as needed

i wouldnt worry about depriming first before tumbling.... its a waste of time... if the primer pockets get so dirty you cant seat a new primer then deprime clean the pockets then tumble.... otherwise you are just putting excess wear on your resizing die.....
