Brass Drying

[Brucie68]

I have a homemade tumbler with SS media that does about 2000 pistol cases at once.......when tumbling is done they get rinsed and then into the media separator to remove SS pins and excess water.......Then onto old beach blankets in the basement for God to do his bit.....used to use a food dehydrator but putting them onto a towel is just easier.The next day they are dry.
I had several blankets layed out one day ,my son in law and 3 year old came over for a visit and had to go downstairs for something.My grandson was off in his own world but when he turned the corner and saw all the glistening brass he yelled out "TREASURE" and started scooping it all up.....the look on his face was priceless and me and my Son in law laugh to this day about it.

I just lay them on a towel. Tumble them back and forth a few times and turn a fan on them for a bit. Dump them on another dry towel and repeat. I'm not in a big rush to fill them up again. lol

HA

I use an old food dehydrator I found off of kijiji for $20. Works good and cheap.

Yeah the dehydrator works well. And there’s something poetic about drying a piece of brass in it that you use to harvest the meat you make jerky in it with.

Got a shoe rack for your clothes dryer? Spread a towel over the shoe rack, spread the brass over the towel and dry for 20 minutes.

They are for newer front load dryers.
My Kenmore branded Samsung has one.

Just a towel, a fan, and a few hours. No hurry.

Another vote for the furnace vent here: I use a wire basket that was for French fries, stir them up on the vent nearest the furnace. It really blasts out the hot air.

By the time the air turns cool as the heating cycle ends, they're bone dry.

I just lay them out on a towel for a couple of days. Big batches here too. If you can’t wait a couple of days, you need more brass!!
It dries faster with no primers.

 

[Why not?]

No fans, no dryers, no fuss, no muss. Just 30 minutes in an oven at 200F, and they’re done, inside as well as out.

I have a compressor, so its easy to dry each case with a blower chuck, but for big batches, a half hour in the oven is the way to go.

I put them in the oven or the dash of my car.

I bought the Hornady case dryer for $60. Works good, takes about 20 min. Probobly the next person will call me out for spending $60 and tell me it can be done cheaper etc. But $60 is nothing in this game.

I use the plastic shell holders from boxes of Federal ammo. Just insert shells and lay them over the registers for night.

Couple baking sheets full of brass, 10-20 mins in the oven at 175-200. Convection oven so the fan circulates the heat. Quick,easy and cost effective

I spread mine out on cookie sheets and put in oven on 180-200 degrees for 30-40 min. I prop the oven door a tiny bit to release moisture. Works perfect for me. No extra unneeded equipment taking up space and can do hundreds of casings at a time. Nothing says lovin' like fresh baked brass from the oven

Exactly how I do mine..works

 

[RePete]

It's best if you use the convection feature of the oven, if you have it. There is constant air flow from the fan.

Toaster oven from Kijiji.

Best $20 I ever spent.
