Wow thats a lot of questions. So let me try my best to answer these. Everyone has a Their own methods. I personally dont use a subsonic cleaner just because I don't have one. I take dirty range brass and separate then by size. I take the brass and begin to by tumbling them for a couple of hours in a media tumbler. Then I spray the lubricant on the brass and then deprime them. Then after depriming the I clean our and swagger the primer pocket ans clean that. From there I check the length of each piece of brass. Then I reinsert the proper primer... from there I go into and either stretch the brass or do what ever needs to be done... I don't know much about annealing so I can't comment on that... ( next one coming up soon)

As to my suggestions above, take each one, turn it into a topic. Ponder over your knowledge and put it in writing.

A very good friend used to say, "the best way to learn is to teach what you know. Questions will abound from diffetent points of view and broaden your knowledge base. Re-visit topic a year later and see how much you have learned."
