Put the brass in a pillow case, tie a loose knot and hang on the inside of the clothes dryer door.
no need for extra equipment.

See this^^^^^Lucky13bullets said:45 minutes in corncob is fine.. i got no time to decap, tumble, dry in either the oven or a dehydrator, or let air dry.. then find some place to get rid of the water which is now hazmat, just so my brass can look new
You really have no sense of beauty.The Green Heron said:There is NO reason. Ever. To ever. Make brass completely shiney inside and out.bit has no use. It has no function. It can actually be detrimental to extreme accuracy due to the removal of carbon from neck of case.
Unless you are making jewelry it is ridiculous. The only people who will be impressed with your shiny brass are geeks and dweebs.

I know that the neck is expanded by gas before the bullet makes significant forward movement forward out of itThe Green Heron;65185 said:Ever notice how once fired brass shoots better than new brass?
Of you haven't you haven't shot enough to really have an opinion.

The Green Heron;65246 said:So you are saying neck tension is not important?
Ikarus1;n65253 said:For uniformity mostly. Low SDs, very important on max loads to be sure.

PS how about pistol?
I do not deprime. I use a dehydrator from harbor frieght. Run it about 2 hours and doneFor those that don't deprime pistol brass before wet tumbling...
Do you just let it dry for a longer time before reloading?
Would a sheet pan in the oven at a low temp be a decent idea to make sure the primer pocket it dry?
I'm about to get into the hobby, and was trying to avoid spending the time depriming since I'm going be using a progressive press.

Is that the HF version? Wasn't sure how big of a dehydrator it was.I like this method the best. I've seen others used oven and clothes dryer. Here a pic of mine cooking.
Couple more questions...
1. Do you try to separate pins from brass before drying? Or after? Or maybe both? Seems like when wet they may not come out from inside the brass as easy, but maybe that's not really a concern.
2. For those with the Frankford...do the sifting caps work well enough? Or is there a need for an alternate method (magnet, colander, Frankford separator, etc)?
For anybody interested...Sku#/stk # is 66906 according to the box
I'm thinking about selling my Lyman tumbler (walnut media) and going with the wet tumbler.
I have brass in the tumbler right now, but it's messy to sift out inside and I'm not going to do it outside right now.
Can you recommend a wet tumbler? Thx.
This is one of my biggest concerns. What to do with wastewater after the fact? Don't want to pour down the drain, can't in good conscience dump it down sewer grate. Won't pour in yard where pet could drink.....I have a few gallons of wastewater In the garage I don't know what to do with, has been sitting there for years.
