I just learned something that might help one of you if you shoot BP in brass cases.
as you know I/we have a quest on for how to clean a brass case after firing BP in it. I think that I have tried just about ALL of the different ways that anyone can think of over the years.
The methoid I found to be the easiest and the best cleaning for me, was the outfit that Cabellias used to sell with the cermaic sticks and some green soulition that was added to the water inside the tumbler.
And yes it worked just fine. However it seem they no longer carry that soulition. So the quest has been on to find something else that works equally well or even better.
For me anyway, that is a powder called LEMI SHINE, it is made to use in a dishwasher and the only place I have founf it is at WALLMART.
After 6 hours the 8 cases that I fired yesterday, were as good as NEW when I checked after starting the cleaning cycle.
I added about a table spoon to the "sticks" and put enought water in to cover the sticks and cases. Turned the machine on and let 6 hours go by and when I checked to see what if anything was happining, they were clean as new un-fired cases.
If you have a favorite way of doing things
, great, if you want to try something different and rather cheap, I can recomend this methoid.
