Just rinse the cleaner off and dry. Comes out spot freePunkur67 I never though of a dehydrator, been using the big lebowski towel drying method for years.
Does the brass come out water stained or does it look like new brass. Do you dry tumble after at all?
Think my wife will notice if I snag the one she currently has sitting in the sink to use for my brass?Another thing to do is buy one of those spikey baby bottle drying mats, and set it on a box fan
I had read about an almost instant process that involved dipping the wet brass in a bucket of acetone (might have been a different fast evaporating chemical). The process was to have the brass in a strainer, dip it straight in, and pull it out. The chemical would displace the water then evaporate almost instantly leaving clean dry brass. I never tried this because I dry tumble. I also avoid large amounts of chemicals when possible. This needs to be done outdoors or in a very well vented area. Maybe try to look this up on google.
I keep thinking that it wasn't acetone, but some other chemical that was fairly accessible and cheap that evaporates just as fast.
I don't do thousands at a time, but a cookie sheet in a 200* convection oven for 20-25 minutes works.
Wet tumble just sounds like too much work.
I dry tumble for two hours and get a thin wax coat on at same time.
Lazy I suppose.

Range brass.
I do admit primer pockets not as clean but no bullet cold welding and enough wax to store for shtf day.
Everything is a tradeoff.
Have fun with picking out steel pins and drying while I'm seating allready.
The used dryer sheets trap a lot of the contaminants and the wax soup just keeps getting better.
Lol

I don’t hear any complaints from the OP.
I can agree about the mud and birdshit, but being that a shitload of BR records—probably almost all if them—were set with what it sounds like you consider “dirty” neck brass..well, I guess I wonder what are your standards there?
Graphite is graphite unless it’s a tetrahedron. Then it isn’t.
