Spin Drying Wet Tumbled Cases

[Bayou]

This info was entered on another thread, but I thought it would be a good idea to share this technique via a dedicated thread since it's so simple and effective.

I use a method of drying wet tumbled cases that does not require any heating or blower devices. All that's needed is a manual rotating media separator.

To dry the cases, I use my rotating manual media separator for a spin cycle. After putting the wet cases in the squirrel cage, I throw in a dry towel and spin vigorously for 30 seconds so. This removes 90% or so of the moisture from the cases.

I repeat a second time with another dry towel. After the second spin, 99% of all moisture is removed. Then simply let the brass lay in the open for 10 minutes, and the brasses are dry.

This spin cycle works so well because the cases are decapped, and the spinning removes moisture from both ends of the cases at the same time.

Just wanted to share my experience......

This is why this forum is so great. Two inexpensive, simple, and easy ways being shared with all of us that lack a little creativity. ;D. Thanks!

Good ideas, guys. Years ago, I drilled holes in the bottom of my loading blocks (all the way through). To dry my cases, I put the wet cases into the loading blocks and then set them on top of the central A/C unit in the back yard. That hot air blowing over the cases dries them inside and out in no time.

Another creative idea.......

Thanks

No need to drill the loading block. I simply take the inserts out of my MTM 100 round boxes and use them. They already have holes on the bottom.
Set them on top of AC unit outside for 10 minutes and done.
