Been doing this, and tumbling, for ten hours now. Had a huge stock of range brass, but no loadable cases.
Must be about:
2000 .38spl
2500 .45Auto
1500 .44-40

Fyodor, I have a turret head with only a decapper on it. I wash all the dirt off the brass with Dawn dish detergent in a tumbler basket and dry it. Then I dump it in the case feeder.

The four way case kicker speeds up that process incredibly. And the drilled out turret, that doesn't index.

More like unloading. Nothing like the firm smack of a 1911 to clear a bit of the fog. Ran a selection of my 1911s mostly with remans I buy at the range.
Make smoke,

Just finished a little session with the .45 auto stuff .... loaded another 50 round test batch of the RimRock 230 gr RN with 8.2 gr of AA#5. Then finished off by priming 300 pre-prepped pieces of brass to be ready for the next chance I get to re-load.

I may have to forfeit my "Boolit Caster" card, but I ran across some Hornady 240 gr. XTP bullets in my component cabinet and loaded them over a light (starting ) load of Universal. I prefer lighter loads for my 629 and normally use a 240-250 LSWC loaded light in it (it has an "unpinned" barrel and since I got it back from being repaired at the factory, I keep the loads down)...
