What are your guys thoughts on cleaning your 308 brass before full sizing. Obviously picked up range brass or brass that gets fringed around from semi's into dirt, have to be cleaned. This is for your bolt action match brass, that doesn't see anything other than your shooting mat.
I have nice Redding dies, so I don't want to ruin them. But a quick wipe with a q tip should be able to clean the die after use.
The reason I ask, it adds an extra step to have to clean before sizing and then all over again after.
