I'll spread them out on paper towels for the night, and tomorrow and if they are not dry after work throw them in the oven tomorrow.

Unrelated but still in the topic of case cleaning. When tumbled or vibrated in a dry media that might have a little dust, like crushed Walnut, do you worry about getting the dust out of the case? Of course tapping the case so the media/chunks come out but what about the fine dust that lines the case wall?
Put in an old dryer sheet. Seems to soak up all that dust and keeps the media cleaner.

As for the dust thing, add dryer sheets to your media but also if you are getting that much residue on your brass you need to change out your media.

I toss them in my dehydrator. Run it at 150 until I remember they are in there :chuckle:

It's brand new media.
I did the dryer sheet on the last batch, last year, but forgot to throw it in this past weekend on the latest batch. It's not a ton of dust. When I pull them out I tape two cases together upsidedown to knock out the media and wipe the outside with a paper towel; after 100 rounds the paper towel is a little discolored with the dust wipe off. Looking inside you can tell the case walls have a little dust and are the color of the media dust not shiney brass looking like the outside. I plan to just run a qtip with a little case lube on the inside of the neck, to clean the dust and outside to lube the neck for neck sizing only and call it good.

Walnut media makes a lot of dust (especially that red Lyman stuff), but corncob doesn't. If you cut up strips of paper towel and leave them in the walnut media it helps a lot, but you'll always have some dust.
For drying, I just dump the brass on a pizza pan in the oven at 200* for a while.

Throw in a capful of Nu-Finish car polish, let it tumble for a few minutes to mix it in to the media and then throw your brass in. Takes care of dust and helps get brass shine.
Can't help with drying, I dry tumble for 2-4 hours and I'm ready to reload.
