Case Cleaning Article Updated

[texasmac]

Hey guys,

Many months ago I authored and posted an article on my web site discussing case cleaning with ultrasonic versus a tumbler with ceramic media. I just a added a detail discussion on using stainless steel pins in a tumbler. It worked great and is the method I will be using from now on for all BPCR calibers, and also for all my smokeless handgun and rifle calibers.

I bit the boolit and tried the pins. Wow - clean primer pockets, cases clean inside and out. What's not to like? My old tumbler isn't the fast Thumler's, but it does the same job in more time.

Update: Just read your web page. So far I've used the pins on .50-70, 12.7x44R. .375 H&H and .300 Savage cases, decapped in a decapping die before cleaning and BP cases - some soaked (right in at the range), some just straight into the tumbler after getting home. All came out super clean. Used Lemishine (reasonable at Wally World) and cheap dishwashing detergent with plain water. Dried the cases by putting them on a dark towel out in the Texas sun for a while. Dried quickly in April and May. Winter time I'll have to do something else.
