Hammer1 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Using the Franklin wet tumbler and their supplied stainless steel pins. Added 2 tablespoons of Dawn dishwasher liquid (chloroxylenol) 1 tablespoon of Trisodium Phosphate 1 tablespoon of Oxy Clean 1 teaspoon of Lemishine Half full of distilled water Ran tumbler for 5 minutes to mix ingredients Then added the two-hundred new 45 ACP Winchester brass cases Ran the tumbler for three hours. According to four independent engineers who inspected the finished product... Produces clean brass. Will repeat test with Remington brass.

glynnm45 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well, every new case I ever cleaned came out shiney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 so these engineers, did they do metallurgical testing on the casings to see if they were in any way weakened, or just look at them and see they were shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You can skip the oxy clean and tridium and they will still come out shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I thought maybe some tritium could be added to really make them glow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyVey Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think this is the best way of cleaning new brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I use just a squirt of Dawn, and a squirt of Lemonshine, tap water, and run for about 2 hours, works fine for me. I am running a Harbor Freight rock tumbler, and I get about 75 .45's in a case. Might be a little tarnish later, but I can live with that. Dry tumble completed rounds if I want shiny brass..
