Do you brush inside necks after annealing?

[J.D.Erwin]

Hello everyone I was wondering, do you brush inside necks after annealing (AMP)? If so what are you using to brush?

Yes every time

It's a GOOD thing to do since the annealing leaves an abrasive oxidation coating on the surfaces of the neck. I don't brush because I vibrate tumble with rice after sizing, which takes care of that nicely.

this is the way

My brass prep process looks like this:

dry tumble in walnut
decap (universal die)
uniform primer pockets (Sinclair carbide)
anneal (Induction Annie)
lube (Imperial wax) inside and outside
resize with elliptical expander (Hornady die)
neck turn to remove donut if needed
wet tumble with jeweler's polishing balls, Dawn & LemiShine
trim & chamfer (Gracey with Giraud cutter

With new brass I start at the uniforming step.

I don't brush inside necks after annealing because wet tumbling deals with the residue.
