Cleaning cases after neck turning.

[jds holler]

I've been using regular cutting oil when I turn necks, and after final chamfer, I stick them all in a pan of boiling water with auto dish detergent for final wash. The stuff gets our greasy pots and pans clean and shiney, and seems to cut the oil and carbon on my cases too.

Hot caustic tanks have been used for cleaning all mannor of greasy, nasty steel and brass stuff for years. I just do it on a smaller scale. jd

I wash cases in prepwash wax and oil remover then rinse with metho then swing cases around in a pillow case then put them in a tray to dry in the sun or use a hair dryer done in a couple of minutes.

If most guys saw my routine of tumbling brass in SS media and how much I scrub the crap outta my barrel with a bronze brush they'd think I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 100 yards..........

I will say the ultrasonic cleaning works very nice..but leaves the cases to clean ..I like that little dirt on the inside of my case necks. I feel it helps the bullets seat easier. But I wouldn't ever use lube to seat bullets..I've tried dry lube but don't feel it made any difference.
I size, tumble , blow out with compressed air, anneal. Ready to load
