This experiment compares wet tumbling brass cases with and without stainless steel pins. While both methods yield clean brass, the batch tumbled with pins demonstrated significantly cleaner primer pockets and a more polished exterior finish. The presence of pins is recommended for achieving a higher level of cleanliness, especially for critical reloading applications or for individuals who prefer pristine brass.

This guide details essential brass preparation techniques for reloaders, emphasizing consistency and precision. Key steps include proper dry tumbling with minimal additives, achieving optimal flame annealing by waiting for visible redness, and using competition shell holders for accurate shoulder bump adjustments.

This video provides a comparative test of three different cleaning solutions for wet tumbling brass: standard dish soap with lemon shine, Frankfort Arsenal Brass Cleaning Packs, and Brass Juice. The instructor, Johnny, details the cost-effectiveness and cleaning performance of each, noting that while all methods produced good results after 2 hours and 15 minutes, the cost and perceived effectiveness of Brass Juice did not justify its price compared to simple dish soap. He also highlights that significant cleaning occurs within the first 15 minutes of tumbling, especially when not using stainless steel media.

This video details the process of preparing previously fired 22 Nosler brass for reloading, addressing extraction issues encountered in previous videos.
