Taking a tumble into brass cleaners

[pracshooter]

Pins in a bag would be a complete waste of time. Cleaning takes place by a waterfall effect of brass and pins tumbling off the sides of the container and rubbing in the process. Pins are going to nothing inside a bag, except clunk a lot.

Fair points but 'clunk allot' ? I cant see that happening . The material bag I mentioned would be full of water in a washing machine, getting agitated as a top loader does.

I edited it before as it was as you put it.

When you start with "Since when does a.." I took that as a smart arse comment not constructive. I never mentioned using a front loader nor washing for 3 hours. My suggestion was for a simple clean not to polish brass all shiny. Some people don't want to drop hundreds on a cleaner.

Might clean the brass fine, do you want that fouling and other chemicals from shooting on your clothes though?

Just occurs to me might not be great for your skin?

The final rinse would remove the last of the contaminants

If you don't let your cases get real dirty then you don't need a tumbler . Washing them in CLR and warm water will get all the patina and grime off . Then rinse twice in quite hot water and dry in Sun or hair dryer or very low oven with the door left open . No heat guns either.

Hmmm. It all washes away that easily you reckon?

Not saying you're wrong, just being cautious. You know how these kind of things in tiny doses turn out to be bad for you 20 years later...
