These tiny 3mm balls

Post by Kurt »

Brian the Hickmeister at the BIG HILL shoot gave me a bunch of Rhubarb for using dingy looking cases that I had to reload at one of his shoots so ever since I been looking for a way to stand his inspection. :)

Just recently I got cheap 10 liter ultrasonic cleaner from Amazon to clean carburetors and injectors and I been using this combination also for cleaning brass.
When I get home I deprime and soak the brass in some water for about an hour to soften the fouling and then put the cases in the ultrasonic for an hour with one pellet of Cascade dishwasher stuff and then run them in the tumbler for a halve hour or less with the cascade and they come pout looking newer than new :)
Just using the ultrasonic gets them clean but not bright like you see them below. Those little 3mm ceramic balls polish the brass like you would using Brasso on your Military Brass Belt Buckle. :)

But in the end the loads don't shoot any better. :(

I like my cases to look just like my Powder and they do!! Except for the insides and they are polished smooth and shiny!!
