Cleaning used brass

it's a self discipline issue to me..clean brass means you take care of your reloading equipment and tools, you're going to produce more accurate loads, not get sloppy and cut corners, and exercise greater safety by having a strict cleaning and reloading regime.

cleaning cases also lets you visually inspect them better and identify and cracks or issues that render them dangerous

no, it's not necessary, nor is a clean barrel, nor is it to brush your teeth twice a day, or shower daily,,but..

I love the look of a shiney case, makes me feel good putting a round in the chamber..

It might mean those things to you but I know too many bumpkins with a $49 tumbler to take much stock the assurance that shiny brass indicates quality of build, or the fastidiousness of the loader. Here it is a ploy of people selling used brass at the gunshows to polish the cases before packaging. People tend to be drawn to the glitter and the high polish tends to hide scratches and defects.~Muir
