Ok, guys, thanks for the info. I happen to like pretty brass, and I don't like having that little case lube film, so I tumble them for those two reasons. I use a short length of copper wire to clean the flash hole. I figured the copper was soft enough to not ding the pocket, but sturdier than a toothpick! I am using a nylon brush on the neck, but one day I used some q-tips to clean out the inside and there was a lot of red dust in there! Nobody does anything crazy like running them through the dishwasher, right?
