Many reloaders do not clean. And, I'll admit it is possible to do good reloads with dirty brass. But, for me, cleaning is an important safety step. It is much easier to see splits and other defects on clean brass. I inspect at every step. And added bonus is clean brass shows pride and care in what you are doing. Most diligent shooters will never use ammo another person had reloaded if it is dirty. Dirty says "this guy doesn't care". And a care-less reloader is a dangerous reloader.
