This video by SmythBusters features Caleb and Steve conducting a direct comparison test to determine if stainless steel pins are necessary when wet tumbling brass for reloading. They use two batches of 5.56 cases, one with pins and one without, to evaluate the effectiveness of the cleaning process. The experiment covers setup, cleaning solution, tumbling, examination of the brass (including primer pockets), and a borescope comparison to assess the results and whether skipping pins impacts the reloading process. The video aims to debunk the myth surrounding the necessity of pins in wet tumbling brass.

This video from Brownells features Caleb and Steve demonstrating various methods for cleaning brass casings for reloading. They cover vibratory tumblers using dry media like corn cob and walnut, rotary tumblers with stainless steel pins and wet solutions, and ultrasonic cleaners. The presenters discuss the pros and cons of each method, recommended materials, solutions, and tips for achieving optimal results. This guide is suitable for both novice and experienced reloaders looking to improve their brass cleaning process.

This video presents a direct comparison of three different wet tumbling methods for cleaning brass casings. The tested products are Brass Juice Case Wash, Frankford Arsenal Brass Cleaning Packs, and a homemade solution using dish soap and Lemi-Shine. The focus is on evaluating the cleaning performance of each method in a wet tumbling setup, providing a practical demonstration for reloaders looking to choose the most effective and potentially cost-efficient cleaning solution for their spent ammunition.

Jerry Miculek details the process of reloading ammunition, starting with brass preparation. He advocates for wet tumbling with stainless steel media for superior cleaning and reduced lead dust exposure compared to dry methods. The video also covers cleaning solutions, drying techniques using an oven, and storage of processed brass, offering insights for competitive shooters on maintaining consistency.
