[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2964736, member: 74061"] Unless you load the rifle by hand so your brass never hits the ground I suggest you clean the brass. I shoot suppressed and my AR brass looks like charcoal, I pin wash for 20mins after annealing along with my bolt action brass which does not get that sooty but it’s still sticky with lube. I understand the benefits of leaving carbon inside the case neck but I hate having powder sticking to the case lube. Hand wiping lube off 300 cases is not going to happen with my arthritic hands either. So I wash again for 15 mins and dry in a jerky machine. which sux because it adds more time to the process and cleans out the carbon from the neck which all the pros say is beneficial. So I’ve been coating the inside of my case necks with liquid graphite (neolube) For over a year now. For me it works just as well as leaving carbon in the neck, and my brass doesn’t look nasty. Dirty brass is hard to see once it hits the ground. [/QUOTE]
