[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1264902, member: 83267"] I do tumble my 223 brass typically the next time I replace my media I will give rice a try. In my other rifles that see far less use I typically just use 0000 steel wool with them chucked up in my drill chuck that I use for trimming, and don't tumble them at all. I have a buddy that doesn't even bother cleaning or resizing do to the tight dementions of his chamber in one of his rifles. I could see not always cleaning in a rifle that was only being neck sized where the body of the case isn't in complete contact with the die and the brass is babied. The issue I've ran into with not cleaning cases and full length resizing is I think the smutz left on dirty cases gets into my dies and could build up over time, now this is with semi autos where I think cleaning is just about a necessity because of the mistreatment of that brass. In bolt guns idk I would love to see some imperical evidence that cleaning shrinks group sizes and by how much in terms of %. In my experience many of the things taken for gospel in reloading are never the hard and fast rules that some make them out to be. I think each reloader has to find what works for them. [/QUOTE]
