If you don't care about it being completely shinny you could go down the ultra-sonic bath option.
I got one very cheaply when Maplins was closing down, a little bit of citric acid and some washing up liquid and they come out nice and clean

Avoid the Washing Machine route for cleaning cases if at all possible.
A Club Colleague popped his 308 cases inthe Washing Machine for a spin. Thankfully he noticed before his Wife's Delicates went in next that one of the of the Drum paddles had been shattered and would have ended up shredding the contents of the next cycle !!!
As for Powder Scales - I had a days re-loading lesson when I started - the consensus was to avoid the Lee ones and pay extra for Hornady or similar. OK - they cost more but I have heard little positive about the Lee ones that are sold in Re-Loading Kits, that said all other elements of my re-loading equipment are Lee and I have no complaints - just not the scales.

I have these. I also have RCBS 5-0-5 beam scales. I weigh on the beam and check on the Reloadr and they are usually spot on.
