I routinely put all range brass I find in a 1/2 gallon plastic bucket filled with hot soapy water and let them soak overnight. [Soaking is important to loosen up caked on mud and other debris]. The next day I rinse the brass several times in fresh water, pour the brass into a colander, then shake a couple times to remove most residual water. After drying in the colander for 2-3 days I run them through the tumbler. Should I need the brass quicker, I bake them on a cookie sheet in the over for a couple hours @ 200 degrees.
