Many shooters leave their brass on the range when they shoot it.
SCORE FOR YOU, THE RELOADER!
As you have likely seen, especially at outdoor ranges, range brass can be VERY dirty. One of the first things you’ll want to do is soak all the “junk” off the brass before you run it through your tumbler, dies, and equipment.
Many folks boil their brass in dish soap. Others use cleaners like “Simple Green” to safely remove all the nasty stuff before they get down to work.
But a word to the wise! Be careful how long you soak and clean brass in Simple Green. As the user in the video below will show us, Simple Green can work wonders for your super-dirty brass, but let soak too long, and you can end up with a tarnished mess.
Watch the video below to see the potential tarnishing effects if let to soak for too long! Be careful!
