limitedgun Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Just got it in this morning and I had to load some ammo anyway (convenient). Put it on the 40 cal brass before I dumped it in the 650 hopper and went to work. Remarkable difference from One Shot. Looking forward to trying the case wash, but the amount of info on the web for using it is pretty pathetic. Will hopefully know how it works tomorrow afternoon.

HI5-O Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Lots of comments that it smells good. What’s it smell like? Is it really non-sticky as advertised? I would like your opinion if it is worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I would not use it as a cologne, but it has a good minty smell. It is not sticky or slimy. Loaded Saturday with no wipe down or tumbling. Used in a match yesterday with no crap at all on my fingers. As to whether it is worth the price, I will say heck ya. I am need of a right shoulder surgery desperately, but it is shooting season. I use a Redding push through die for 40 brass before I load, and it is definitely less effort on my Rock Chucker doing that process. I may be able to do even 1000 at a sitting now. I am mixing up the Brass Juice case wash right now to test. Will try to post before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) These are after 1 hour and 20 minutes in a bucket with Brass Juice Case Wash. I mixed 1.25 ounces to a gallon of tap water. I agitated by spinning the bucket every 20 minutes. I will definitely be using this in the cement mixer. Best I've ever seen.

Steve RA Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Be interesting to see what that would do with stainless pin tumbling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It did look good in the "finished" pic, was just curious what the combination would end up looking like. What does the inside of the case and the primer pocket look like afterward ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 The site is adamant about not using pins. That's the way I've been cleaning for years. Unless it is mud caked I think I'm done with that. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 The inside looks great. This is not bench rest ammo so it is not deprimed. I guess I must not be sure what clean enough is to load, fire, and leave laying on a range. I just try to keep from scratching my 30 plus year old carbide dies. Seems to have worked so far.

limitedgun Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I cannot imagine the cleaner would have a reaction with ss pins, but I will know in a few weeks. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just ordered some case lube and they have really good shipping rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A good experiment would be to replace the Dawn with an equal amount of the case cleaner and run in a stainless pin tumbler for the same amount of time as normally used. I get good results with the pins and don't want to buy the case cleaner just for an experiment. Perhaps someone with both the tumbler and the cleaner would try a batch ??? I can't see how it would hurt the brass as using both methods by themselves doesn't, but who knows ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroryde Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ive used this recently as a recommendation from a friend as pins are not needed and I'm throughly impressed. The insides of the cases were really clean after 3 hrs in a Frankfort wet tumbler. I bought a gallon of the cleaner and they gave me a small sample spray bottle of their case lube and I believe it works better than one shot. It has a minty smell to it as well and no sticky residue.

Brooke Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Ill leave the brass juice lub to you guys. Hornaday One Shot works fine for me. Regarding pins....totally unnecessary and a PITA. A tumbler with cheap dish washing detergent and cheap water surface tension reducer used for dish washers will make brass look completely new. Pins are a waste of time.

Been using One Shot over 20 years. No more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've been using brass juice tumbling wash. It's had impressive results. They offered me a free bottle of the case lube when I received my order as it had leaked out in the box it was shipped in. Seems like a good company to me. I have used the wash solution 3 times without degraded performance. Not sure about after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitedgun Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 They are a great company to deal with and very forthcoming. I hope they have more innovative products coming our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I’m getting so tired of tumbling loaded ammo to get the Dillon lube off. Ordering some of this stuff today and going to try it. If you all say no sticky residue and no need to tumble after it sounds great already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
