Range into tumbler (no pins ever) just some mild soap. Dry brass either over night or in an old food dehydrator set on low. (pre cleaning the brass saves your dies). De prime or re size brass Five dollar Lee primer pocket tool in a 3/8" variable speed drill to clean primer pockets. Re tumble brass and re dry to clean off the sizing wax/lube, or just wipe necks if it is a quick shoulder bump and no major re sizing involved.
If the brass is dirty or stained I use a 21st. century shell holder and low speed variable drill and some 0000# steel wool to make those babies shine. It also seems to bring out the natural "oils" in the brass and they stay shiny for years.
Sounds like a lot but it really does pay off in the end, especially with the price of brass nowadays.
