I pick up a lot range brass there now seems to be a surplus since Trump is in office. So normally I put it all on the sonic cleaner for about 20 minutes than dry it. I clean it this way before depriming it so that my dies do not get scratched. Afterwards I just put it on a tumbler for about 20 to 30 minutes max. Polishing the brass for me is so that any small aberrations that may make the brass unusable shows up to the naked eye. But in more than 50 years of shooting, pretty shiny brass and dull brass shoots the same.
