Two part question.
1. Just got a dry tumbler (w/walnut) and was wondering if it cleans inside the brass or just the outside? Seems like a tough chore to get the media inside the small neck of a 223 round.
2. Do you guys deprime and then clean your brass? I ask because I was wondering if depriming dirty brass will harm the die in the long term but I'd like to get in those primer pockets while I tumble. Yes, I can use a primer pocket cleaner if I deprime afterwards but if I can dprime beforehand it would save a little time not having to do it manually.
