How do you clean your brass? (Poll)

[Maxwell Haus]

Wow ... this poll is even more surprising today ... 54 % dry tumble .

All the talk about wet tumbling and how clean it gets the pockets , cleans the insides , cleans the outsides , shines the brass , heals the sick and raises the dead ...
... yet only 26 % of the people do it !

Sure seems like an awful lot of folks , me included , still Dry Tumble !
If so many do it ... the old way must still be a good way !

Don't forget the folks that do it more than one way . I do some wet and some dry . If I want it clean I wet tumble it with pins ,If I want it "clean enough" I use the dry method .

For most wet tumbling is too expensive, so they dry tumble.
I have some rifle brass that never gets tumbled. It gets polished with 0000 steel wool.

Like I said I am flexible. This afternoon I had thirty .308s I needed lube cleaned off of. A bucket, hot water and some Dishwashing detergent solved the problem in less than 5 min. Popped them in a 200 degree oven for 15 minutes and I was ready to anneal and prime
