OK, guys: we're finally about ready to get the reloading setup going. (Archerandshooter has yet to get my new floor down in my office, but he's going to work on it next weekend).
So when we were at Carter's today, we talked to one of the guys there about which tumbler to buy. He said that in his opinion, the only reason to put the cases into a tumbler is because you care how they look, and that there is no serious cleaning that happens in there. He could have given us a different opinion and made a sale, but he told us he never cleans his brass and they shoot just fine. I was impressed with his honesty, but this is the first time I've heard this.
So what do y'all think? Is it necessary to clean the brass in a tumbler or not?
