I am curious as to what methods are used to clean brass. I have a ss tumbler and I use it for my 308 rounds and in an hour the brass comes out brand new, even the primer pockets and the inside. I now have 100+ cases of 6.5 x47 lapua brass but I have read on some posts (mainly benchrest shooters) that don't wet tumble. Usually referring to overworking the cases. I am not opposed to a different method but how do you get the inside of your cases and primer pockets back to pristine condition otherwise. My usual workflow is:
1. quick tumble with "detergent" to remove grime no media.
2. deprime
3. heavier cleaning to remove all residue inside and out with media
4. size, trim, champhur and debur.
5. quick wash to remove lube.
6. dry..usually in the dryer on the shoe rack or in the sun in the summer when it's a 100 out.
