I tumble pistol brass, but hardly ever tumble rifle brass. Since I have no semi-auto rifles, after I've shot I lightly work the bolt and pick the brass out of the action. If I'm hunting, the empty goes into my pocket. If I'm punching paper, I pick the brass out and put it back in the MTM box. Except for the neck, the brass isn't ever dirty. When I get the brass back to the loading bench, I just twirl the brass neck in OOOO steel wool, resize and reload. Now somebody is wondering what I do if I miss with the first shot and have to cycle the bolt in a hurry. That does happen every now and then, but doesn't dirty up the brass enough to worry about.
