No reason to clean, unless you have your brass rolling around in the dirt, then I'd just wipe them off.

Otherwise, shoot, resize, prime,dump powder, seat bullet, shoot. Repeat often. It's far better to shoot than it is to clean brass.


I've loaded a bunch of cases (223 for example) and never cleaned brass. If a little carbon and brass is gonna hurt steel dies, I ain't seen it.
