Washing machine brass...

[Savage Jav]

Found this guy after it made it through a wash and drying cycle. Not saying this is a good idea but this is probably the cleanest I've ever seen a price of brass.

Washing machines get grease, blood and... Well... Knuckle children out of things really well. Just add powder residue to the list of A-OK

Dude! I can't even count the number of 10mm Snap-On sockets I've bought. Then found later.

True story. I bought a replacement and then found the original in my SAE drawer. I should have known, as my SAE sockets are all shiny and new while my metric drawer looks like sh!t.

One didn't look like the others!

Some people use a small cement mixer to tumble their brass.

Savage, are you sure your wife's not dropping some brass in as fabric softener?

Now talk the lady into letting you run 1000 cases through and then see if you can still type with your hands.

I've intentionally washed brass in the washing machine. Using those mesh zippered bags. About 100 cases per. They were washed separately, or maybe with some soiled shop towels. Works well; I dry the brass on reject cookie sheet pans, not in the clothes dryer. I haven't used this technique lately. Depending on details, my brass may be cleaned in different ways. If it's not too dirty or oily, these days I have a couple of tumblers that I use. If the brass is tarnished, coked, carboned up or oily, I will chemically wash it in Iosso liquid case cleaner, then rinse thoroughly. When I clean in Iosso, if it's rifle brass I decap. The washing machine caper, the occasions I've done that it was usually when I had quantities of some common pistol caliber. I haven't gone into steel pins or ultrasonic methods. Yet.

Snap-On Tools. I used to know an old guy, he said, "My box contains everything from Snap-On to Tai-Wan."
