anyone got any thoughts on how to get blackpowder residue out of the inside of the cases? I have a martini henry and a .43 mauser that I use blackpowder in, and the gunge that is left over is almost impossible to get out

I just use crushed walnut and a little Lyman reactivator on my BP 45-70 casings. About 3 hours in the tumbler and they look like new.
