What should cleaned brass look like?
Where you shoot makes a big difference. At the gun club we have a concrete floor so brass stays clean and dry and could easily be reloaded as-is. At the gravel pit in wet/snow weather the brass can get muddy and if not attended to until next morning can be covered in light corrosion. In this instance a good long soak in warm, weak citric acid solution will remove corrosion and powder residue but not leave them shiny. For shiny I run them in the vibratory tumbler for an hour with corn cob and a squirt of car polish.
That stainless steel media looks like a terrific method all in one step.
