Caring for Brass

[Tami]

How do you care for your brass.. After they eject and fall to the ground, with gravel, mud, snow and on and on..

After awhile it harden on, do you wash them? can you let them just dry out?, cause it will be hard to get inside to dry it fully?

Do you tumble them in a media tumbler to get the tarnish off the brass...


Can i hear from all of you who reload and clean the brass please

Do most all of what you mentioned NG, I warsh, let dry, deprime and let dry some more, then i tumble, wipe clean, resize and check trim to lenght before reloading. Now if I was a compition shooter i would also turn the necks but for hunting i do not see the need for the ranges I shoot. Also I have dies for each gun and have them set for the chamber of that gun. And each gun has been test fired and takes a little different load of powder and maybe primer for the best accurecy.  Reloading can be a touchy game and should not be taken lightly. My recomondations to beginnersis to buy reloading  manuals that explain the how to's, read- read and read some more then get the eqipment to load and read -read and reread the instuctions well looking at the equipment and dry run reloading.
