    Does cleaning your brass increase case life or something?
    It is it for the bush cred of having shiny brass?

    I use wire wool when the case is in the drill while doing length cut and chamfer. Shines em up in 3 seconds.

    No real advantage, is just nice to work with clean cases.

    Helps in a few ways:
    Makes them nice and sparkly;
    Cleans off debris/grime before being sized, thus keeping dies cleaner;
    Easier to spot flawed/damaged brass during case inspection;
    Cleans the lube off after sizing;
    Clean brass also chambers easier;
    Did i mention it makes them nice and sparkly...

    Cleans off grime before resizing- cleans off lube after resizing?
    You do it twice? Too much spare time
