This "Smyth Busters" video tackles the common reloading question: should you clean your brass before reloading? The video features Caleb and Steve discussing the pros and cons. They explain that while benchrest shooters sometimes skip cleaning for consistency, cleaning offers benefits like easier reloading, reduced die wear from abrasive grit, and is especially important for brass found on outdoor ranges.
