Prped, sized and trimmed all my brass, now looking to clean the inside of the cases. Only have 200ish so dont want to invest in a tumbler, ideas?
Missus is into rocks so there could be brownie points if I did get one that would do both brass and small stones
My D.I.Y method
Bucket of warm warm
Squirt Dishwash Liquid
Squirt Dishwasher Rinse Aid
Tablespoon Citric Acid
Agitate alternating using a wooden spoon and cordless drill with a babies bottle brush in it ...
Dry in the sun
Works mint for me
Tumbler wont clean the insides and the powder doesn't really care. I wouldn't worry.
Bit concerned with brass fillings inside case after trimmimg, not as big as an earlier post this morning though!Quote:

Ive also trimmed,resized etc a lot of .223/556 brass into 300BLK ... I just tap out the excess fillings and use the same method to clean ....Quote:

How much did you trim off!?!?!Quote:

I've reloaded for years, never cleaned any of my cases inside or out, after chamfering the neck/mouth I just give it a quick blow (har har) and I'm done.
If your shooting and reloading a lot, cleaning/tumbling and sorting brass is a must imo.
Stainless tumbling is the only way to get a perfect job done.
Blemishes and flaws are easier to pickup that could cause untimely malfunctions.
