Default Cleaning large amounts of dirty brass

rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
oops, sorry.

Didn't mention, these are fired cases needing to be cleaned
before loading.


In that case, soak 'em. Then wipe each one as you dry them off.
Or rinse and inspect after drying.

thanks


A bit of solvent on a rag. DON'T soak them! What shape is the powder in
them? Sphere, rod, etc. You might tumble them but that might grind the
powder into...powder if done too long. Tumble a few for a period of time,
pull a bullet and inspect the powder, repeat.
