Welcome Redcoat 3340!

As far as cleaning without a tumbler, I've been using a mixture that many use to clean brass: 4 parts (cups) hot tap water, 1 part (cup) vinegar, 1 Tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon dawn soap (any liquid soap will do, I use dawn). You'll be surprised how clean & shiny your brass will be. For once fired, I allow about 30 minutes, for dirtier maybe 45 mins. Rinse very well in warm water and then let dry on a towel. You can also place in low level heat in oven, but I don't do that. Using a fan also helps speed drying time, or outside in sunlight.

I use a Lee universal de-capping die and de-prime my cases before cleaning, this helps with the primer pockets getting cleaned. Once dry, you're ready to load! Hope this helps, and this can be found on YouTube also.
