Jeff, when I go shooting, I take a jug half full of pure water and several squirts of Dawn in it. I immediately decap the case and drop the shell in the jug. Once I get home the powder residue is all gone and I pop them into a dual Harbor Freight tumbler with ceramic balls, pure water, several squirts from a lemon taken from the tree in our back yard. After about 3 hours they are like mirrors. I do the same for 45 LC and 45-70 cases.

I might be getting older as I find the muzzle loaders, especially my Gibbs slug gun which can shoot to 1000 yards and NO cases is more fun to shoot.....no case stuff to mess with!
