Drying brass in oven

[lone ranger]

Or on a towel on the shoe rack in your clothes dryer for about 15 minutes.

I use to do that.

Since I bought a heat Gun from princes Auto,..I now lay my brass on my shop desk and hit it with the heat gun....dry in seconds.
Burn your fingers if you pick it up to soon. They were on sale for $14.99 a while back

A cheap, used dehydrator works as well.

Scored a really good dehydrator off Kijiji for $40. Has 7 trays and is massive. One tray will dry 3-400 9mm cases in about an hour.

200F. I turn it on for one hour before bed. Then leave it in overnight. Always done by morning.

I put my brass in a toaster oven, 350 for 10 minutes. Made the brass discolored. I have a video if it on my channel on YouTube, channel name, "Ray's Repair Zone", using a home made recipe that everyone has in their kitchen. I dont usually dry them in the oven, but I wanted them quickly. Next time I will try a lower temp.. if you watch it please subscribe! I need all the subs I can get..

I have done this many times and no issues.

I put mine in the oven at 180 and check them every 15 minutes. Usually done in less than half an hour.

Heat gun and frying pan.

Do about 50 to 60 at a time. Toss them in pan with the heat gun on high. Bone dry in 60 seconds.

Not sure what the summer is like in Alberta but it doesn’t take long to dry sitting out in the hot Ontario sun.

I do it all the time at 200 for about 25-30 minutes...

Had to try this. First batch was 220 x IVI 5.56 brass after wet tumbling - standing mouth end down in a metal bread loaf pan with crunched up aluminum foil as a filler - one hour at 225 degrees with fan running in convection oven - then left in the oven overnight. Perfect, I think. Next batch was 160 x 308 w-w brass - this time 30 minutes at 200 degrees - same deal - mouth down in aluminum bread pan with aluminum foil in pan as filler, fan running, left overnight in oven to cool down - looks to be perfect. So long as stuff is clean and rinsed, no odours - my wife quite okay with it in "her" oven / kitchen...

I do the oven at 200F for 20 minutes as well..then found an old dehydrator on Kijiji.

Before I got my dehydrator I used the oven, the odd cook off of live ammo that was in the stuff I get, which is always fun, but that's about it.

Greta does not approve.

In the summer, I set the tray of brass on the dash of the truck in the sun.
