Brass cleaning?

[TrxR]

How are you guys cleaning your brass? Are you doing it by hand , Sonic cleaning, Vibrating tumbler with some sort of media, or rotary tumbler with stainless. If with stainless where did you end up getting your stainless from?

Thanks

This should be in the reloading section.

I pitch them in the brass tumbler.

I remember back when we had cats, they would occaisionally use the brass tumbler for a sandbox as a joke. I would come along, dump in a bunch of 223 brass and when they came out there would be a couple magnums in there with them.

You would be amazed at how good house cats are at evading gunfire...

I use the stainless media tumbler system. Works amazing.
There is lots of these threads concerning this in the reloading section.

I was recommended to Never Dull. Available from Canadian Tire in a tin.

That stuff is awesome. It takes the carbon off the case necks that the tumblers can't.

When I get enough to bother with, I use an old pot, hot water and some phosphoric acid. Stir with a stick for 5 minutes, drain, rinse, and put them in a sieve over a hot air vent. Works like a charm.

Tumbler with walnut shells and a bit of brass polish mixed in with a bounce sheet to keep the dust down. For extremely old brass, that a tumbler or sonic unit wouldn't touch I have a bench polisher in my garage, brings them back to new on the outside, then I throw them in the tumbler to clean the inside.

I use about 2 tsp of blue magic metal polish from Canadian Tire with corncob media in my vibratory tumbler and my brass comes out with more shine than factory ammo.

I just use the Hornady Sonic cleaner, the middle sized one with heat. Works perfect. Cleans inside and out, primer pockets and if you add a little extra soap mine have been coming out nice and shiny as well. And no messing with media anymore....

I use a lyman turbo as well...Its loaded with crushed walnut with a bit of nu-finish. Brass comes out super clean!
