[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 868548, member: 52763"] You probably don't want to go thru all of this, but it works very well. Yes, I do have a lot of time to kill. I spin my brass & polish it the first time with #0000 steel wool, blow off the case well & load. After firing, I de-cap primers & soak the fired cases in a citric acid solution overnight (8-12 hours) I wipe all cases clean by hand, shake or blow the water out. I put them in my oven set to 150°F for 30-60 minutes to insure they're dry. Then tumble them in corn cob media. [B]For anyone concerned, citric acid is passive & will not damage brass in any way.[/B] I spent many hours researching this on the Internet. I know this is overkill & not a method most people would choose. However, I'm never in a hurry though & have no need to process more than 40 rounds at a time. My loaded rounds look as good as anything you've ever seen. If it's not that important to you, then I wouldn't waste my time. The only abrasion on brass is the first & only time you use #0000 steel wool. Don't use anything coarser than #0000 or you will start removing brass. Do not use sandpaper or abrasives like the 3M ScotchBrite pads. They are much too abrasive. [/QUOTE]
