[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 179086, member: 4885"] I use a vibratory cleaner (large dillon for the large jobs) small hornady for the small jobs. That said, I don't think I've every used them on any of my bottleneck cartridges. I use them to clean my pistol brass (as it falls in the snow etc. and I have 1000's of them to clean). I don't let my rifle brass get dirty, I typically take a shot and then drop it back in the ammo box or my pocket. I suspect on soft/annealed brass, the automated cleaning (vibratory, tumbler etc) would dent the necks. For example, the last time I re-barreled my 7mm Rem Mag, I bought 100 Norma brass to use in that barrel. I have 98 of them left (lost the other 2 hunting) and have never cleaned them (shot them all 3 or 4 times). I just wipe them with a rag before I lube them for sizing. If I get some dirt in one of the cartridges, I just scrub it a little with a nylon brush. AJ [/QUOTE]
