Let me understand this....you run your Thumler's Tumbler without pins? What goes down into the inside of the case and the primer pocket to clean them out?
Rocky
Dry media like corn cob, crushed walnut shells/Lizard bedding.
With dry media, I very rarely decap. I decap for wet tumbling.............as previously stated.
Primer pockets get cleaned with tools, held in a drill motor, designed for that specific purpose................after tumbling.
Decapping is an extra step............and requires an extra universal decapping die. Standard sizing dies decap. However, you wouldn't want to resize before you clean them.
