Here's a reloading tip for your consideration if:
A) You use soapy water to clean case lube off your brass, or
B) You use a liquid case cleaner instead of an honest-to-goodness vibratory tumbler and walnut media.
Like some of the Good Ol' Boys in the forum listings up above.
Here's the tip:
After either of the above processes, you'll have wet cartridge cases. It's Hell to get all the wet out of the insides of the cartridge cases.
So---Wait until your Wo-man goes to the mall, hair salon, church, whatever. [Wait til she goes to Work, even. You can stay home.]
Get hold of her hair dryer. Crank it up good and high. Put the cases in a reloading tray, neck down/rim up.
Run the hair dryer over the cartridge cases. Water evaporates nicely when cases get hot. [ Don't do the Guy Thing and melt the plastic reloading tray. Or set the wooden reloading tray on fire.]
After the hair dryer cools, put it back where you got it. Before she comes home.
The Woman will still know that you used it. Deny it anyhow. Make her wonder What the Hell. Tell her your Girl Friend came over, just to dry her hair.
Have a beer. Then charge the cases and seat the bullets.
Whoops....Charge cases, seat bullets, THEN have the beer.
You'll save the expense of heating the oven. [This method is Green.]
