I am looking for a way to clean shotshell hulls for reloading.

Someone brought me several (1000+) AA hulls they have picked up from a local state park were they dove hunt. They are slightly muddy, and some have the primers rusted (those I throw away) and I am looking for a way of cleaning them. I have heard of guys running them through a washing machine, but I think I would be divorced if I tried that. Not to mention the possibility of water remaining in the shell and rendering the shell a dud.

Any ideas of how to clean many shells at once?
