Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Added to Media?

[Muddyboots]

You must be right.
I,ve been doing it for 50 years the wrong way....with no problems whatsoever....
Please keep in mind.I,m using it with walnut hulls,Maybe 1/4 cup at a time,in large Dillon tumbler...

Bill, like I said: YMMV Your Mileage May Vary when it comes to these types of things. When I read ammonia can embrittle cartridge brass in virtually every forum, I choose not to test the theory.

Never tried that before ,but walnut media ,baking soda heck a little flour and an egg and 45 minutes in oven , and walnut cake .

Throw in some dried fruit and you have a fruitcake that can be passed around for years. Nobody eats them and it will never go bad.

Throw me in bourbon for a week and I might accidently eat the whole thing.

Sounds like standard fruit cake to me.

Baking soda is real nice. I think it might make for removal of heavy metal deposits (lead from primers & other metal residues) on brass but don't know how. Good for bad breath also.

I would have thought with baking soda being dry and very fine it would just drop to the bottom of the bowl and do nothing??

Talking reloading with friend back east and he claims adding this to his walnut media improves brass cleaning by reducing time plus increased brightness? He adds like a tablespoon to it.

Anybody ever hear this or do this? I know baking soda is used to neutralize in liquid media but never heard used in dry media. Just curious.

Be interested is the amount he uses , the main media ? then he adds a tablespoon to it, Baking soda is such a find product the for sure I bet it would work. Going to give it a try but do most of mine with a ultrasonic machine now days, and dishwasher magic or Lemi shine, + teaspoon of salt and several drops of Dawn.
