RDA Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Saw it in the Cabellas flyer after I purchased it. Still glad I bought it. Got it, I was a little slow on the uptake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamb Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Jerry's YouTube vid on cleaning brass - I've seen that before. That's the industrial approach to the problem. I can't imagine how much he shoots. He has a very informative YouTube channel. Edited August 27, 2014 by Williamb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencerhut Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just tumble the brass in walnut and call it good. You guys that wet and stainless steel pin your brass you are going to shoot are freaking nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaskillo Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I use plain OLD Florida sun to dry my brass...it works QUICK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Can also dump them on a towel. Roll them around and let them air dry for a few hours. But I prefer the CED Dryer - makes them toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 There is also a health consideration with all the dust created when using the dry method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerhut Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 There is also a health consideration with all the dust created when using the dry method. Yup, I'm 46 and have been casting bullets and reloading since I was EIGHT. My blood lead level is completely normal. Wash your hands. Put a couple of used dryer sheets in your tumblers. Close the lid on the tumblers, no perforated lids. A tablespoon of Mineral Spirits in each tumbler load also cuts down on the dust, but is not required. Wash your hands.

Williamb Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm not talking about lead levels. I am not discussing washing your hands. I am not discussing the actual tumbling. I am discussing the dust levels caused when separating the media from the brass. It exists and is not healthy. A much cleaner and healthier process is using the wet process. Aside from the health benefits the brass comes out looking almost new. Your preferences clearly differ and that is fine. I did the dry media process for almost 15 years and I am glad to be rid of it. I have been doing the wet process for about 3 years and I prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicocrawler Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wet tumble when they are done I use the tumbler media seperator then spread the brass on cookie sheet and in to the 200* oven for 10 min pull out shake and 10 more and I'm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamb Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have also used the oven method - works well. Prior to the oven I had used my clothes dryer. My clothes dryer had a shelf you could put in for stationary items like sneakers. This worked well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
