Ok, does anyone have a surefire, no BS, for real way to completely clean the carbon fowling from the inside of a shell casing? I tumble my brass but was wondering if there is a better way, or, if it is at all possible to get the insides completely clean. Aside from tumbling I have used Iosso, brass cleaner, but, dont like the really dull look the brass has when finished. I am lookin to try some new stuff if there is anything out there that works well and wont be a major process to do. I'm not entirly sure its absolutly imperative to clean them that well, I do get fantastic accuracy out of my rifle doing it just the way I have been. What do you guys think about it? Can carbon build up, even with tumbling, cause any problems?:idea:
CLEAN BRASS!?

I'll say only that bench rest shooters don't tumble. They wipe the outside of the case and call it clean. We all know the accuracy they can achieve. I wipe the brass with Kroil with a little Sweet's mixed in. There can't be much fouling inside the case.

Lifes to short to worry about squeaky clean brass inside and out.
I tumble mine in plain non treated corn cob media usually overnight and that's it. When I looked into the ultrasonic cleaning process I said 'no way I'm going to all that trouble'. I'm not knocking the guys that do, it just isn't for me.
In fact it's never been proven clean brass of any degree shoots better, as mentioned above benchrest shooters don't bother cleaning other than a quick wipe. A lot of times we worry about things that don't mean 'Nada'.

Any difference in accuracy would be all in your mind. It won't be measurable. You could go to a lot of trouble cleaning the inside of cases and your already fantastic accuracy won't be even the minute-est bit more fantastic.
A guy I used to know would clean the inside of electric outlets with a shaved Q-tip. He never told me if it made the electricity more fantastic.
