[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1266822, member: 91090"] So many ways to clean brass. Many benchrest shooter wipe the carbon off the case with ballistol and hit the necks with a brush and clean the primer pocket with a tool. Of course those cases are loaded out of a loading block and put back in the block after firing. They never touch the ground. They want the carbon in the neck consistent. Dry tumbling also leaves the carbon pretty much intact in the neck. Both ultrasonic and wet tumbling with stainless pins leave the brass clean as new. It is recommended that the necks be lubricated with dry graphite before bullet seating. My method has changed over the years. Now I dry tumble until annealing time. Then I use my ultrasonic after annealing and use the dry lubricant prior to bullet seating. With my portable setup I use the ballistol method. They all work. Different strokes for different folks [/QUOTE]
