[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2389529, member: 116181"] Y'all know you don't have to do it the same way every time right? You can use SS or wet tumbling when they get really nasty, then go another few loads with another method (or just don't clean them at all :eek:) before you need to spruce them up again. If you're going to scrub a barrel down to change bullets over, you can do the same to brass. I do this all the time with hunting loads, mainly because I get bored and tinker and rarely shoot more than 50-100 of a bullet before I move on. Edit: Also because I like to tinker I actually just yesterday picked up two 2-gallon buckets and 8 quarts of 91% isopropyl alcohol. I'm drilling holes in one bucket to make a nested strainer and I'm going to try dropping cases into the alcohol after coming out of the sifter post wet tumbling to see what it does to drying time and how the cases look. No idea if it'll do anything, but it's cold here now and I'm bored. [/QUOTE]
