Cleaning hulls for reloading

How do y'all clean your hulls? I've been wiping them off as I load them, but that approach sure does slow things down.

You said "hulls" so I assume you mean shotgun hulls. If that's the case, don't bother cleaning them. I've loaded tens of thousands of them and never cleaned a one. If they are caked with mud and dirt, you may want to wipe that stuff off, but normally cleaning shotgun hulls is not a necessary step.

I just reload them! If they are that dirty I chuck them!
