Cleaning your Cases

[Descreet38]

Was just curious as to how and what products you use for cleaning your cases.

Since I own a tire repair service I typically pop the bead on a 16" tire on the Ford truck - each tire will hold approximately 3500 rounds of 357 and 45 mix. Add a quart of sand soaked in ammonia and comet mix and drive for two days. WaLa - VERY CLEAN brass.



Sorry - couldn't help myself. I actually use five Dillon Large and three Midway standard tubblers with corn cob and walnut along with the Dillon rejuvinator. I very seldom ever mix calibers so that is why I have so many tumblers (not to mention I reload a lot).

So far I haven't cleaned my cases. I just wipe them down and load them. Seems to be working.

Jkwas - that will work just fine until the day a case gets stuck and you have to pry, pull, rod it out. I learned the hard way many many years ago.

Secondary but just as bad is the grit on the case will eventually wear the throat of the barrel.

Good Luck,

Oops, guess I'm getting a tumbler !
