Any brass I pick up . . . gets a good soaking and rinsing before depriming/resizing.

ALL OF IT. Whether it had dirt inside or not. I do cull the run-over, stepped-on, flat stuff. I use a 5 gallon bucket, hottest water from the tap, and Powerball dishwasher machine tablets. Mix, agitate, repeat. Let soak at least one hour. Drain (I use a media separator). Rinse in hot water again. Drain.
Then I deprime. I do not really want to touch it until then. Then it gets tumbled in media with auto polish. Only after that, do I resize it.
After shooting that brass, then I may not repeat the cleaning process as it stays cleaner when it goes from gun to shooting-bench, and back into the box I brought it in.
