Those that know me know I've cleaned some brass in my life thus far. Dirty military range brass:
pick up brass
throw them into vessel (mine are industrial size), no pins because it will gather sand then you have a headache later
soap, water, bump of lemishine
roll till clean
drain water, soap, sand, etc.... Clean rinse to remove more soap, not necessary
now, take brass and throw it into vibratory with corn and a little polish (used media)
this will dry brass and suck water from primer pockets
press ready
after press work
wash again with pins
drain, separate pins, quick rinse off the soap
return to vibrator with final new/newish media (this media will eventual become used media) and nice amount of polish
thank me later
now, we use proprietary polishes, cleaners, etc... Due to industrial sized cleaning batches. However, this method will work with the above mentioned soaps/lemishine. Also, this method will give you brilliant brass, prohibits tarnish, and gives you a touch of slickness (lemishine strips the metal).
i have a love/hate relationship with 7.62 LC and pea gravel, haha
