Shiny brass, not really my thing, but

[PigButtons]

It's been years since I wet tumbled brass but this was range pickup that had been aging for more than a decade outside under my deck. It cleaned up surprisingly well and it will be processed tomorrow.
Particulars, PMC brass, lemi-shine and Dial anti-bacterial liquid soap, SS chips, for an hour, rinsed, then another hour. Once clean, a couple of sprays of Meguire's spray wax and then dried on a bath towel.

Because you asked,

Now I see why you rinsed and ran it through again!

 

[Kracken McGraw]

That was well worth the effort!

Wet tumbling worked magic on these 50 cal's from the desert in Arizona.

How much wax do you think gets left on there?

Shiny brass is happy brass. Happy brass shoots better.

I also use the "Wet" tumble method for all my brass , but without pins or chips . Lemmi-shine , Dawn and filtered water . Arizona tap water sucks , big time . The brass always comes out beautifully shiny . Because I have a reasonably large amount of brass for my TR rifle , I can rotate through the inventory , and I realized the brass was losing it's "Shiny", and wondered if this would affect the accuracy . So I tested it , and came to the conclusion that there really wasn't any difference between the really pretty shiny brass , and the brass that had oxidized and gotten dull . The main issue is / was , "CLEAN". Inside and out . If it's clean , you're half-way home . Shiny is pretty to look at , but I'll take clean brass over pretty-shiny any day .

OK.

But I'll continue to use the wash and wax I've been using for the past 7 years.
