Sorted and Cleaned Some Brass Tonight

I started out sorting some brass tonight. I keep a stack of 2 gallon paint buckets and let the brass accumulate until there is enough to clean.



I had enough to run a batch through the tumbler. It was about 23 lbs of 9mm.




Brass with water & soap added.




And on to the tumbler it goes!




After about 40 minutes and a rinse, this is what's left. It will live on top of the furnace until it's dry.

Just cheapie dish soap. I don't use pins ether and an happy with the results.

Scrounging up brass becomes an addiction! I can't stop!!!

I put a load of 38 Special on tonight. Only about a gallon and a half.

Nice and clean!

That's A LOT of 38. How many sessions was that?

I tend to save it up and clean a bunch at once. Probably 6 or 8 months.
