[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 3922297, member: 50626"] I’ve used similar techniques. Usually put it all in a freezer baggie and shake it for 10mins or so. Gotta be careful with vinegar and especially salt. Rinse the brass very thoroughly or you’ll get corrosion. I’ve only been hand loading for about 4 years. Single stage press, small batches, somewhat minimal equipment. I still don’t have a tumbler. My rifle brass just gets a quick wipe off with a rag, then case lubed, re-sized, then wipe off case lube with rag again. By then it’s pretty clean. If I’m dealing with a bunch of dirty pistol brass, I do a wash similar to what you described. I guess I’m not too hung up on having perfectly shiny brass. I disassemble and clean the dies from time to time. With the small scale reloading that I do, I have yet to feel like I really really need a tumbler. [/QUOTE]
