How do you clean the media from your brass?

[ammosmith]

I have a sifter.

Are you just moving the ram up just enough to deprime, or do you still move it all the way up for a full-length stroke?

[ammosmith]

All the way. Set your dies up so the ram goes through a full stroke. This makes sure that each case is done the same way each time.

I use a bore cleaning brush of the same caliber on a short pistol handle. Hold the casing upside down slide the brush up inside the case and slide the brush out.

I meant to ask how you get the dusty residue out that is stuck to the inner wall of the cases?

This is a basic video. Progressive presses can be dangerous to the beginner.
