[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2537813, member: 15054"] I did some experimenting on how much soap and how much Lemi-shine or citric acid to use. A little on the subject over at Handloadersbench [url]http://www.handloadersbench.com/forum99/33533.html[/url] Now i just tumbled 2 batches of 45acp i traded for. One batch I used just soap only but it was only about 1/8teaspoon to just under 2Q water tumbled for 4.5 hours(i left to another town to get tires put on my son's car) Then another batch of the same range pickup with a bit less soap, about 1/2 the soap amount and just a small shake of lemishine, i usually use 1/8 teaspoon this "shake" would be less than 1/16 teaspoon. 2.5 hours of tumble time, I was watching movies. The shiny brass on the left is from the 2.5 hour tumble time with Lemi-shine. the other brass is clean and easily used and i will use it .. I just wanted to do this test to see how a small amount Citric Acid would act. I have never used such a small amount but looks to do just fine.
