Now that's a very good tip.

I'll try the fabric softener next load. I've been using car polish for a while now and it does a much better job than what I used to use. It polishes faster, gets the heavy tarnish off better and leaves the brass with a slick feel. The cases seem to come out of the resizing die smoother and easier.

With the significant price increase and ridiculous shipping rates for gallon jugs of Rooster Bright, I've been trying to decide what to use for polishing brass. Based upon the experience of others here, I tried using Turtle Wax car polish. I chose it simply because it I have it on hand and it's cheaper than the better polish and wax I use on the cars.

I set the timer for 3 hrs. and tumbled about 1100 rds of .45 ACP. They came out brighter than they would have with the same amount of polishing with Rooster Bright. They also have a slightly slick feel, so I'm going to try to reload them without using Hornady One Shot. Case lube isn't required for carbide sizing dies, but it sure makes the press run smoother. If car polish makes using Hornady One Shot unnecessary, then this will be an added bonus.

Now I just need to find the cheapest car polish, since there is no reason to pay for more expensive polish. After all, I'm not trying to get water to bead up on my brass. I'll update this post with the results of my reloading tests without the quick drying spray lube.
