Well got another question.
Ok now i lube the outside of the brass and i recently got the decapper stuck in a casing. I managed to tighten thr top crimp nut with heman force and fight it out..
Now the question is, should you lube the inside of the casing also? Does that "one shot" lube dry?
I mean im sure after 4 hours in the tumbler the brass should dry out right?
Ive reloaded handgun .45 and had no problems what so ever. I stayed away from the rifle ammo and i remember why. Lol
Yes, that's plenty of time.
I usually add one or two able spoon of mineral spirit to the tumbling media to help it clean faster.
I normally only tumble my fired brass for about 60 minutes... or a little longer when I forget.

It really helps to get some lube inside the neck.....if you use the spray lube, lay the cases side by side with the mouths pointing towards you. Spray across the cases, roll 1/2 turn, spray again and then let dry before sizing.
Also you can try the baggie method .... dump a bunch of cases in a baggie, spray in the lube, shake em up, dump on a rag and let dry.
Run out of lube...Break Free CLP works good too!
Too little lube...stuck case
Too much lube oil canned shoulder.
I use alcohol or mineral spirits to clean the excess lube from the case, then let air dry.
Good handgun dies are carbide, no lube needed.
oh...and if you don't want the liquid type lube in the case mouth, use a wax type lube on a bore swab to lube the case mouth.
