I've been reloading a very long time. Years ago I found a seller on Ebay who sold a 50/50 corn cob + walnut mixture and ships in a bulk USPS box. The supply I bought has lasted 7-8 years and I still have more because this method somehow makes it last many times longer than any media I had before. He said to add a cap full of clear mineral spirits and run until mixed then add the brass.
I started using a few drops of Mcguiar's liquid hybrid ceramic/wax. Not only does this make brass shine in a quarter the time but I haven't bought a can of Hornady case lube spray in years. I do have a can that I occasionally spray a dash on some of my dies to really smooth them out. Even with just the cap of spirits you're perfectly fine and theres a slickness it adds to the cases.
I let them sit in plastic bins for a little while before using but it has never fouled my primers. On the other hand spraying brass with things like teflon silicone then drying overnight has. I went to some nationals with squibs and misfires. Never do that again.
I've told many people and they believe I'm FOS. I bought a steel pin tumbler for a while which was pretty nice for making brass like new but frankly was too damned much work for the result. Not to mention the deprimer hitting one of those steel media pins you missed. Try this sometime and see what you think.
