The thin residual carbon glaze will not affect what you're doing. That's basically what is left after dry cleaning.

There are plenty of folks who have a million+ rounds loaded for competition that load ammo after dry cleaning dry clean, e.g @9x45

Again, it is not wrong to wet clean, except more steps. If I load 1k handgun rounds, that is 1004 handle pulls. Wet cleaning makes that 2004.

But you'll also find other threads around here about sticking powder funnels from wet cleaning.

Again, just providing another angle, not trying to talk you out of it.

well this is what i need and appreciate, information!

But... isn't that from folks who do not lube (properly)?

Yeah, but who wants to give concern about properly lubing the necks of 45 auto cases? Haphazardly getting some One Shot here and there on the outside of the case is about as detailed as I'll get.

See? I'm lazy!

I'm right there with you - which is why I like my little effort-saving trinkets.

If I was using a single station loader I would not be concerned about debris falling out of the case, and especially the primer pocket. When using my Dillon 550, not necessarily my 650, I want to keep any of the debris from falling into the machine. I also don’t want the debris from contaminating the case feeder. Perhaps my concerns are unfounded but I don’t like to add extra cleaning tasks to maintaining the reloader. As with the 650, I think the design of the priming system helps prevent the debris from cross contaminating the entire machine.
