You need to remove the dirt to protect your dies, you also need lube to resize your brass.. dry tumbling is great for cleaning the stuck on dirt and powder residue.

I also anneal after several firings, if I need to resize, or bump the shoulder back, then I use lube.

Lemi shine and Dawn leave them bright, shiny, and removes the lube. Ready to load. I always wet tumble last, so the cases are as clean as possible, removing brass shavings, and lube.
