Cleaning by hand instructions:
1 Mix 2 tbsp. of liquid dish washing detergent to 1 gallon of warm water in a large bucket. Fill a second bucket with clean water. 2 Sort the brass cases by type and size. Shake out any lose dirt from the case and discard any cases with split walls or deformed bodies. 3 Place the dirty brass cases into the bucket of water containing the dish washing detergent. Do not fill the bucket with brass above 3/4 full. Allow the brass to soak for 10 minutes. 4 Remove each case from the bucket of detergent and water and use a bottle brush to thoroughly clean the inside of each case. Use a toothbrush to clean the outside of each case. Ensure that all dirt, grease and oil has been removed. 5 Place the cleaned brass cases in the bucket of clean water while you continue to clean the remaining cases. When you have finished cleaning all the cases, pour out the water from the bucket containing the cleaned brass cases and refill with clean water and rinse. 6 Hand dry each brass case with a clean towel as you remove them from the rinse bucket. Check each case to ensure that it is clean and free from dirt, grease and oil. Place all hand dried brass cases on a towel and allow to air-dry for 45 minutes. link to site I got this from http://www.ehow.com/how_6226483_clean-r ... brass.html Read more: How to Clean Reloading Brass | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_6226483_clean-r ... z1JvZI723P yeah in a (Nutshell) I will pass on this method lol _________________ better to ask the wife for forgiveness than ask for permission! rule 1 for a good husband lol rule 2 just pisses them off wife blah blah blah husband yes dear what ever you say dear! |

The corncob that came with the tumbler lasted me for at least a year of fairly intensive reloading. Also, make sure that whatever media you get is fairly small. If it's too big, it can be a major pain in the rear to shake out of the rifle cases. I've only bought Lizard Litter once and it worked just fine . . . I'm not sure if there are other grades out there or not. I will ask one of my buddies he has a house ful of reptiles and works at Midway Pets in des moines _________________ better to ask the wife for forgiveness than ask for permission! rule 1 for a good husband lol rule 2 just pisses them off wife blah blah blah husband yes dear what ever you say dear! |
