[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3591804, member: 46636"] Here is another take on cleaning brass. I have used this method since I started reloading 12 years ago and it has worked well for me. Before I started reloading I did a great deal of reading and research on how best to reload and how to do it the cheapest way possible. I had several goals in mind. I wanted to reload as a hobby, to do so as cheaply as possible and make quality reloads. So when researching I came across an article about using white rice as a tumbling medium. So I purchase a bag of white rice and tried it and it worked. No dust like one gets with walnut or corncob medium or waiting for brass to dry using a wet method So I purchased a 25 pound bag of cheap white rice and still have more than half left. One batch will clean thousands of cases before needing to be disposed of. I mist the rice with Mequiare’s Quick Detailer which aids in removing stains and leaves a nice finish. The only negative to this method is rice will sometimes get stuck in the flash hole which is no big deal. I simply pop it out with a tooth pick. I’m sure this method is not for everyone, but it works for me! And it’s cheap! Don't knock it if ya ain't tried it! [/QUOTE]
