I was wondering if the case cleaning media residue- -the "dust" that's left behind after you tumble your rifle cases & pour out the media- -could affect both the accuracy of your loads and the longevity of the powder thru comtamination?
Is there a "best" case cleaning media for the cleanest final results?

about the only way that is a concern is if a piece of media got stuck in the flash hole. if that happens, most times the cartridge will still fire, but precision is not predictable.
