[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 854524, member: 27328"] Blow out the cases with air or tap out the water on a stack of newspaper, then lay them where a fan can blow air on them. They are dry the next morning. The oven idea is what I do when I want to speed things up. A small toaster oven works best for small batches and takes less power than a big kitchen oven. Make sure you don't use too much heat. If I need to polish small batches of brass, I just load the ultrasonic cleaned cases and then put a drop of Flitz case polish on each one and rub it in my fingers for a few seconds. When you wipe off the case it is better polished than several hours with corn cob media. This is good for batches up to a hundred rounds or so. The bullet also gets polished in the process, and the finished round looks better than any commercial ammo. Beyond that amount I use the Flitz polish on the corn cob media in my vibratory tumbler. Rubbing hard with a clean dry cloth is what really puts the polish on brass, and it chambers like it has been teflon lubed. [/QUOTE]
