If not tumbling, break or carb cleaner. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

Clean both in my tumbler for a couple of hours. Last edited by lastround; 11/26/19. If we live long enough, we all have regrets.

This^^^^^ I tumble before sizing because I want the decapper pin to positively push any remaining media out of the flash hole, Hornady one shot, or Imperial.....resize......and wipe the brass down with paper towels or cotton rags soaked with isopropyl alcohol, the highest concentration available at the pharmacy. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I use RCBS case lube 2 then wash it off with water and dry the resized cases for a few hours in the oven set at ~210 degrees. and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

I put a bunch of casings in a zip loc, spray in some One Shot, shake, rattle and roll, open the bag a let sit for a bit, size and wipe off with a paper towel. You really don't even have to wipe it off. So easy a cave man can do it! Anybody that has stuck cases using One Shot, is doing it wrong. You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

I then either wipe off or run them through wet stainless in hot water for 1/2 hour or so. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0117UuXiSS4
