Therefore, I personally do not do pistol brass, it has a visual lifespan of 3 seconds, from the ammo box to the magazine. And usually quickly! :) Rifle, well, that's a process, loading breech or magazine...someone might wonder by and ask...so I started cleaning my rifle brass, especially with colored powder coating. Inevitably someone is going to pick it up and examine. I had a really good excuse for taking the diving board plunge to wet tumble, black powder is HELL on your brass for looks, even after corn/walnut media. And elimination of primer pocket tool for that stubborn spent black powder in the primer hole. _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

It is therapeutically appeasing. My wife didn't get it, I told her "Imagine reading mindless things in a magazine while you get your pedicure...well, that's cleaning brass/reloading for men" _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.
