So I have a bunch of dirty 7.62

Put it in a pillow case, tie it off, throw it in the clothes washing machine and add some Tide or Sunlight. Wash, rinse and take it outside. Open the pillow case and dump the brass into a colander. Shake it around until most of the water is out of it. Put it on a tray, then into the oven at 250F for an hour to get rid of all the moisture.
The washing action rubs all of the casings together and they act like stainless pins on the outside case walls and bases. The soap gets rid of any sticky residue inside and out and of course the dirt as well. If they have to be bright and shiny, Lemshine and stainless pins in a tumbler will do that inside and out. Still, you need to get rid of the grit first.

In that event, you might wish to skip the oven.

Buy a Norc M14. Put them in the rifle and shoot them.
The brass will come out clean.
The M14 eats s**t ammo for breakfast and demands more Sir!

You are more likely to win the lottery consecutively than have any serious issues at all tumbling ammo.
