Case Prep: 3,000 9mm cases

Processing range brass: sort, sort and sort again. I use Dry Media to Clean & Polish.  Currently Wet tumbling with SS Pins is in vogue, but here in So. Cal. best we use H2O wisely.

Standard Check List: Both Off and On Press .. this shows brass is ready for; Primer Pocket cleaning .. no case trim or ID/OD chamfer required.Steps 5 & 6  2nd clean & polish along with visual case inspection .. looking for: foreign matter, case defects etc..

See below: typical detritus / FOD found in range brass: Note: 380 cases are a real bugger if missed!!

First of 3 batches: Sorting tray made from 18” square of 1/2” ply and some reclaimed baby crib wood. Quick visual check .. this size tray works well.     All the cases ready for Steps 7 & 8Ready to process through the RCBS Case Prep Center, 20 years service with no issues.
