[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1510367, member: 85874"] Cinchy For lots of reasons I rarely tumble my precision rifle brass and I would never consider washing it in the sink. When did reloading a rifle cartridge get to be so complicated? I simply wipe off the cases with alcohol on a rag, this removes all dirt and any sharpie ink where I have written load info on them. I knock the primer out with a decapping die then brush the neck with a nylon brush and lub and size them. Occasionally I will clean the primer pocket if necessary. All this takes seconds per case. Yes they have some powder stains on them but the alcohol does a good job of cleaning that off. Do my cases look new no but they shoot better than new. the carbon in the necks is a good thing. There is no need to clean the carbon off only to replace it some other form of neck lub. I have been amazed at the trends in reloading cases with SS pins tumbled in soap and water and then drying then having to lub the inside of the necks. If I had to do all that to a case to reload it I would simply buy my ammo. I do tumble pistol brass or .223 brass where it has laid on the ground. It would appear to me to be easier to wipe the dust off a case as opposed to washing and then drying. Henry [/QUOTE]
