[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1247751, member: 10429"] I started doing the same thing this last year as well. Wasn't worried as much with my ES as more worried about my SD. As I shot groups and reviewed notes I found one thing that dropped my SD and ED. Kind of weird but maybe since I don't have an brass anneal machine the residue from cleaning is acting as a lubricate such as graphite would. I was doing the wet cleaning with stainless pins. Tried 2 separate batches one cleaned with water and soap and the other in the old vibration cleaner. The one in the vibration cleaner was my on mix of dry treated (RBS red) walnut, rice, and corncob. It had lower ES and SD. Also produced a tighter group with less fliers. So this is how I clean my brass now. Every one in a while maybe after 5 shooting I use the wet cleaner to check the brass on the inside. Just gives me better visual inspection. After drying I run it in the vibration tumbler a for about an hour to get the same light amount of dust back in the necks. Also working on building me a brass annealing machine as well. [/QUOTE]
