You'll need to keep me updated on the quality of your brass.  Every time my brass comes into contact with any water, I have to dry (inside/out) immediately before tarnishing occurs.

What do you do with your cases after there trip through the wash?

I put mine in corn cob media and run it for about an hour and that will dry it pretty good.
