Tumbling Brass

mikecarol63mikecarol63 Member Posts: 336 ✭✭✭
Hi; When you tumble brass to clean it, how in the world do you get the dust out of the cases? Or is it okay to leave it? I loaded and shot some shells without getting the dust out, and it didn't seem to bother the accuracy. Thanks, Mike

    Normally I use a net type bag to separate the brass from the polishing media . Then the only thing on the case is inside light amount of dust IMHO this does not hurt any thing .I use Jewelers rouge with my walnut hulls or nothing at all when I clean and polish with Rice. Never had any problem with either and I load Thousands of Match grade pistol loads yearly.

    USED drier sheets will get rid of the dust. Cut half a sheet up into 1"x1" squares and throw a handful in every batch.

    No sir I sure don't have any interest in the company at all..
    And at $50.00 for a life time of use I don't really see it as expensive at all..
    Especially when it cleans brass better than anything I've ever tried, in about 3 hours time...

    i always seperate the media and dump the brass into a container of some sort. Then I take it out to the garage and blast it for a couple of seconds with the air compressor. Dust is all gone [:D]

    Actually, $50 is about 1/3 to 2 times the correct price for stainless steel media.

    Well, which is it? 1/3 of $50=$16.66 and 2 times $50 would be $100.... So you're saying that the correct price is between $16.66 and $100.00 That's a pretty big gap for media prices dude.

    All I know for sure is that I paid $49.99 plus shipping for 5 #'s, I don't remember what the shipping was but I think it came in one of those $10 flat rate boxes.....
