So I don't yet have any reloading equip, but I have quite a bit of spent brass once fired by me. .380, 9mm, .45, and 5.56. Have sorted it out and wondering what the next step is. Should I take the spent primers out before cleaning? Or tumble first then remove the primers? Going slow waiting for components to come back to reasonable levels and prices.
Thanks.

you wanna tumble first. if you deprime first before tumble then you will make your first mistake. thanks cleaning the flash hole out from media. lol

If you are vibratory tumbling with corn or walnut media then you don't want to deprime prior to tumbling. You would be picking out media from the primer pockets and flash hole. The only way to clean primer pockets while tumbling is to tumble with stainless steel media in a wet tumbler. See the sticky thread at the top of the reloading forum to see the one I built.

Thanks. I thought I had read somewhere about that but couldn't remember. Wouldn't be much of a head start on the brass if I had to go back and clean 'em after tumbling. I'll wait for the tumbler.

Query, how can you deprime if you don't have any Reloading Equipment?

I was looking at either the Harvey deprimer or a Lee hand press. IDK.

I started reloading on Lee equipment - and was very happy with it. They have great customer service and a great warranty. It's an inexpensive way to get started with reloading and learn the process. In fact I still use my Lee for SD loads.
