Tumbled brass w/primers
A lot of brass that has been resized and primed ended up getting dumped into the tumbler and getting cleaned. Again.
Any thoughts, reprime them or just fill them with powder and go on? Some residue on the inside surface.

I have always just popped out the tumbled primer and reprimed.
Misfires suck, so does breaking down a bunch of dud ammo.
Use a universal depriming die or screw the decap rod way down so you don't resize the case needlessly0 -
Thanks Bruce, think I'll do just that.
Bonus is that most of it is 40 S&W, need 357SIG so I'll resize it as I go.0 -
If you can see the primer through the flash hole(which means the flash hole is not plugged with media) there's no reason to deprime. I've reloaded a bunch of pull down brass that was tumbled to clean with primers still in. 0 -

My thought exactly...provided this IS range ammo........??0 -
I usually tumble my brass AFTER it's sized and primed. Yet to have a misfire. 0 -
Truthfully, the amount of fire that a primer produces would force all but the most solid clog from the flash hole. Don't believe me? Load a primed case, hold the rifle upright, and set a ping pong ball on the muzzle. Remove face from muzzle area and pull trigger. 0 -
If you have an inside deburing tool, it has a drill point on it and
will get anything out of the primmer hole.( Mine is an Wilson) and if you do not have one then how are you deburing the inside of the primmer pockit, as it should be?0
