Less is more. Barely a teaspoon lemishine. Drop of dish soap. If water 30 minutes it need a bit more I drain the dirty water mostly, add another drop of dawn and fresh hot water. Haven’t had to go more than 90 minutes but that was NASTY 308 once-fired.

Here are 1100 300 BLK ready for trimming, reaming, then reloading.

Gonna be 500 135 gr. And 500 220 grain.

I deprime with a lee universal de primer before I toss the brass in the rock tumbler. Few drops of dawn, hot water, and a dime sized pinch of lemishine and run it for an hour if it’s fairly clean. If it’s dark range pickings from oxidation it goes for another hour. I use a thumlers tumbler and ss pins
