I just take the cases after they have been fired & give them a bath in hot water to cover, a couple drops of dish detergent, & a few shakes of Citrus powder got from the Grocery store that folks use for canning fruit.
I use one of those "whisk" thingamajobs/doo hickeys & stir them up like I am mixing up flapjacks & then let them sit for the water to cool.
I then take a colander/strainer ( like for spaghetti) & drain & rinse with some more hot water.
Shake & toss them in a towel made up like a hammock to help get rid of the rest of the water & let them air dry for a while til there is no water left.
If I wanted to, I could start the process after just that little bit & reload after that.. but usually I add more steps...
----------------------
So, usually, I will decide to do a little more.. It may not be "necessary", but it is what "I" do & I am happy with it.
First thing I do is "Inspect"the cases. Those that have dings I know will not do, I discard. Cases that are damaged to where I know they will not survive another firing, I discard also. So on & so forth..
Then it is time to De prime & size...
(NOTE: Half of my dies(old ones) are steel, thus need lube/Other half don't need lube)
The "survivors" of the culling get the de-prime & sizing ( lube or not lube whichever) then they go into the vibrating cleaner with walnut stuff (& since I have some of that "treated" corn **** , I throw some of that in there too so I can use it up & never get anymore again...) for a while. I do not need my brass "shiny & polished", I just want it "clean".
Next step is separate the media from the brass after the tumble cleaning & it is time for another decision...
After that process, I decide whether I need to just shake them again in a damp towel to get most of the media off, Blow clean with compressed air, or... then it is "Citrus wash" time again...
( This is where I would clean the primer pockets, if needed... before the citrus if I am going to use that method, or before Priming using the other methods. I prefer using another Citrus bath to get the pockets cleaned out good & make sure there is nolube left on before I go further. )
If I decide that I should give them another bath, then I do that. If not, then they go on to either getting themselves into a container for later reloading, or I go into the reloading process of expanding/priming/etc..
A kind of Flowchart for "my" doins... :
----------------------
After shooting
Citrus Bath
Dry & INSPECT
Discard culled cases, De-Prime & Size
Vibrate/Tumble Clean Cases
Shake Tumble in Wet Towel/or,Blow with Air/or, Another Citrus Bath
(To remove media leftovers)
Start Reloading
-----------------------------------
No matter what ya decide to do, & whatever process ya use. Have fun & don't make it too much work..
Just be safe & enjoy the "doin" of it!
G'Luck!
