FORUM BOSS: For bolt-action Rifle brass that has NOT hit the ground and is not to be annealed, you don't necessarily need to do dry tumbling, or Ultrasound, or SS Pins. It is NOT necessary, and wet-tumbling or ultrasound may actually require second operation to dry-lube inside of necks.

Many posters in this thread recommend tumbling cases. Again, that really may not be necessary unless that cases have been on the ground or are very dirty.

If you wipe the cases with Ballistol or simliar cleaner after shooting you should be able to get the carbon off easily.

I do understand that many F-Class shooters and 1K shooters may desire to tumble or ultrasound cases. But for the average bolt-action rifle loader, this may be overkill, that has some negatives.

However, if you plan to anneal, you may want to clean cases inside and out. Make sure the cases are clear of all residue and are 100% dry.
