Way less. Dump into tumbler, turn it on, dump them in a separator, done. The reason I do not wet clean is the time suck of it & extra steps. To do it right, they need to be deprimed, extra step. Then they must be dried 100%, more time & handling. Then they are so clean as to cause add'l force to reload, UNLESS you dry tumble with media & polish after? So why not just dry tumble to start? Just me, dry tumble has been working fine for about 37y. Before that I just rolled them in a damp towel & loaded them up. Which still works btw, especially if you use Lemishine in the water to dampen the towel.
