    Brass tumbling recommendations

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    Hello gents ... experimented with several products for wet-tumbling and found that approx 30-35’ produced the same outcome compared to longer times.
     
    I tumble de-capped brass.
     
    I started using the commonly used Dawn/Lemi-shine mix with good cleaning results.
     
    I moved on to use Boreteck’s case cleaner at a ratio of 1oz/gal. The results are spectacular. Primer pockets are spotless.
     
    I have ordered some “Brass Juice” to experiment without the Pins.
     
    After a final rinse I lightly dry the brass with a towel and then place them on an old cookie sheet on top of the “Shoe drying rack” in the clothes dryer for about 15’.
