I've been making one pass in and out of the neck with a nylon brush. Is it necessary to rotate a nylon brush in the neck for several seconds?

True. It sorts out good, from not so good. Outside of competition is where it gets really hard to sort out. There isn't much to back up what the myriad opinions you'll get for 1 single issue.

I know some comp shooters that don't clean the outside of the brass. They say it helps hold the case in the chamber when fired. When I chamber a rifle, I don't leave the chamber super shiny, usually run some Scotchbrite so the surface has a tiny bit of texture- something for the brass to grip onto. Some people think that a polished chamber is better-not me.
I personally wet tumble stainless pins-keep my brass like new. I have my process from prepping the brass to pressing the bullet in and do it exactly the same way each and every time - CONSISTANCY.
I know other reloaders that just run a brush on the inside of the neck, check for case length (only trim when the case is at max) put a primer in, load powder, press a bullet in and then shoot. These are not comp shooters, but shoot PD and chucks out 5-600yds all day long.
Everyone has their own practice and style. If it works for you then continue!

Well, if you get careless it certainly could be.

I use a 24.00 propane torch, Lee hand case trimmer base, cordless drill.
About 3 seconds at the tip of the blue cone, quench, "Next!".
There are brass anealers and then there are BRASS CASE ANEALERS this is a never ending conversation. If you are happy with what you purchased OK. I see so many flame annealers that end up selling their flame and go to induction. check if you do it right with flame stay with it, but induction is in a whole different league.

As well as it works and as cheaply as it gets the job done I'd have a hard time justifying anything else. It's also pretty quick, about 20 seconds or a little less per case.

I never clean my brass unless it's gotten filthy like they do sometimes in my prs matches. But then I only use corn cob media
Your still taking the carbon off the inside of the necks, its all I used to use for years
