It's the dogma that you can ONLY DO ONE OR THE OTHER....
I have issues with that, not how people do it (or if they clean or not).
Since I use a plastic coffee can to cart dirty brass back home, half can of water/soap and drop the brass in, rattled around in the water on the way back to the barn, wash off goo and throw in dry media when I get home, rattle small batches a while & leave them in the tumbler (lid off) when they are done until I feel like storing or processing.
Not much to it. I'm lazy when it comes to this stuff since its so forgiving and mistakes like leaving brass in water for a week or two is solved by a littlr extra rattle time,
about the same time as if I didn't wash first,
Its just a non-issue...
If there isn't any acid in the water it's not like sitting around in water or dry media is going to hurt the brass in any way...
