I then put them in a dehydrator and in about 15 minutes they are dry.  If you don't use a dehydrator shake them real good in a towel and let them sit overnight.  Another tip is if you do the process and the brass comes out dingy, clean the inside and bottom of the barrel with a scour pad (not a metal one) and soap, they residue from the cases cling to the rubber.  They come out with a little slicker feel to them, and don't tarnish near as bad as without the car wash.  I have picked up brass that is several months old and so black you would think it was steel, but it cleans them up like new.  I usually clean out my barrel every 10 or so times of cleaning to get rid of fine sand and for that I just remove all the pellets with a ziplocked covered magnet (pull the magnet out of the bag and the pins fall into a container), and wash the barrel out good.  I shoot a lot of 300 blackout so I make cases from 223 rem I will trim them and throw them in there to clean out any brass shavings and as I said in the above post it does a great job of smoothing out the case mouth.</p></blockquote><p></p>
