Thought I would share my process to load 223.
First, the brass is soaked in a solution to remove the residue and turn the brass case back to its original shiny color. The brass is then rinsed and dried in an oven. The cases are put into a vibrating tumbler with walnut shell and Nu Finish car polish for two hours.
Once the cases are cleaned, they are put on a case lube towel case neck up. A mist of homemade case lube (lanolin and alcohol) is sprayed on the cases. They are rotated 180 degrees and sprayed again. The cases are then rolled back and forth to evenly spread the lube and take off the excess.
Next they go to the size/case trim machine. I use a Dillon 650 with their automatic size/trimmer. Since the machine has an automatic case feeder I can do over 1500 cases per hour.
The brass then goes to the loading machine. I use a Dillon 1050 with an automatic case feeder and a carbide sizing die. I also use an automatic primer filler to speed the process up.
Once the round is loaded they are put on a towel and are paper toweled with mineral spirits to remove the case lube. The rounds are then sprayed with alcohol to finish the case lube cleaning process.
The loaded rounds are then placed in a vibrator tumbler with walnut shell and Nu Finish car wax for a final polish, about 20 minutes.
