What do you guys do to clean off your brass after tumbling? I just ran my first batch through my tumbler with walnut and it comes out with a little dust on it. Do you have to get all the dust out of the case before lubing and running through the sizer? I'm not taling about chunks of walnut inside, just a very fine dust.

    I make sure the case is empty and wipe it down before resizing it.

    I put an old towel on the floor puor the brass on it and rub it around in the towel for a bit, works fine.

    I just pour all of my brass out into a pasta strainer and then roll them around. I do this after depriming to clean out the primer flash hole abit before useing a primer pocket brush then primeing.

    I make sure the flash-hole is clear of media with a toothpick or thumb tack. Then i will clean the inside neck with a RCBS nylon brush. Then i blow the dust and media (if present) out of the case with a air compressor.
