It's dirty/sticky/grimy to the feel. What do you guy's think the best way to clean it would be, if at all?
I'm going to put it all on FN stripper's

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.
 
I have a wet tumbler setup and was wondering about tumbling with dry media.
I've fired it in my 305, but was amazed how dirty my hand's were after delinking and putting some into stripper clip's.
