    I always wet tumble before resizing to keep my dies cleaner, and if lube is used for resizing, I wet tumble again for 20 minutes after processing the brass to get the lube off.

    I solved the problem by using a universal decapping die on my progressive press.

    Spray them with brake cleaner in the same tub you lube them in and shake it just like you would to lube them. It doesn't hurt the brass ans it's alot quicker.

    The original wet tumble recipe from Brownell's included their "degreaser" for which Simple Green is a more than adequate sub.

    One of the many reasons I use bolt guns for my ~4500rds/yr .223 use on prairie dogs is that I can neck size the brass.
    So my approach is neck size/deprime - wet tumble/dry (sweater rack in dryer, low heat) - prime, charge, seat, crimp.
    No media in flash holes, no lube, nvr have to trim cases, seldom see split case mouths.
