Like a lot of people I started loading for pistol cartridges first, then moved to rifle. I’ve now loaded a decent amount for rifles and developed some accurate loads. I’ve never used a brush on the inside of my case necks. If I am wet tumbling with SS pins, is this really necessary. I see there’s a wide range of opinions. Do you brush your necks. Does this step create a measurable improvement? Thanks!

IMHO, tumbling stainless steel pins cleans everything so I do not use a neck brush when I do that.
Now if I media tumble brass and it’s still dirty, I have on occasion used a neck brush.

Yeah, I've seen brass done wet w/ pins, it looks amazing, no need for neck brushing.

That said, I dry tumble in walnut shell...doesn't do near as well as wet/pins, and I STILL don't use a brush on the inside of the necks. Ever. Never saw the need.

Always on spent military brass, and most range brass. Some have residues that won't come out with dry media cleaning. Gives me a chance to do sumtin' useful while sitting in front of the tv
Clean 'em, ream 'em, inspect 'em

Way back, I dry tumbled once.

Next day I promptly got a wet setup with pins.

Before I started on wet tumbling, I would chuck a nylon brush in my drill and would do a few hundred in a short amount of time. I never really noticed a difference in accuracy or tension when seating a bullet. Made me feel better though.
