3/8"x1" ceramic media

[bigjake]

Can 3/8"x1" ceramic media used for cleaning brass? I realize its kinda large but im just curious if there is a use.

[Shawlerbrook]

Won’t clean the inside of the case or primer pockets.

Is there anyone that uses this kind of media or some other size? does it ruin the brass? could someone fill my in on how to use this?
Thanks in advance.

If it’s what I think it is, a industrial deburring material, it might be really rough on the brass and not clean like you think it should.

I tried it. It stuck inside the cases like crazy. The only place I would consider using it would be straight wall cartridges of 45 and larger.

Ooops! Missed the x 1 part. Sorry. Mine was 3/8” little pyramid shaped stuff.

oh how ive wanted one of those big industrial tumblers. if thats what you got I would give it a try with some easy to find brass to see what happens.
since you cant use a magnetic conveyor separating it might be a time consuming trick if you do any sort of quantity.
I guess I'm just stuck on ways of the past using corn cob and walnut media with flitz

The ceramic media needs to be wet during tumbling. In industrial settings a continuous flow of water with a wetting agent is sprayed into the tumbler and overflows to a drain to carry away the residue that is removed from the parts.

If you want to use ceramic media to clean your brass it has to be small, 1/16 x 1/4 or smaller, with water, and see how hard it may be on your brass,
SS pins is easier to do..
