Cleaning cleaning media

I find that the media lasts a lot longer if I rinse the grubby range brass that I pick up. The mdeia is supposed to clean off the powder residue and tarnish, and asking it to scrub the mud and stuff is expecting too much of it.

I use Birchwood Casey liquid brass cleaner as a rinse, and spread the cases in the sun to dry.

I used to be less concerned aobut brass cleanliness, until I found my taper crimp dies scratched and uselss, as it was scoring my cases and they were cracking too soon.

Cleaning the media is too much hassle, I can get 50lb bags at the local feed store, and they're cheaper than dirt.
