Title: Use it or toss it?
Post by: elkrack on December 09, 2021, 07:12:01 PM: I’ve never had an issue with brass not cleaning up after being tumbled but this brass(Winchester) is still pretty dirty. half are clean half are still pretty dirty around the necks. What do you guys do use them or toss them? Clean case on the left dirty on the right

Then back in tumbler .
Or whatever ,but don't throw the brass away,that's brass under that cooked on gun powder burn.
Shoot it with it on there,don't throw away.
