Hi guys,
Neewbie question here.
I lube the brass with imperial wax or lanolin/ alcohol before resizing it.
Does I need to clean it by tumbling it before place the powder in and seat the bullet?

I am asking because I have seen some powder bonded to each other because the lanolin and I am afraid to have some accident.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you guys!

Should I discard the ammo I had made and haven't cleaned it to avoid safe issues or may I use it to do the cold bore shot?
Best!

It’ll be fine. Might pick up some dust from the lube still being there.

Or you can wipe them down with alcohol.

Some people consider the wax to be a “contaminant” in the powder. But I doubt you’ll see any difference in performance.
