The 224 Valkyrie brass I cleaned turned out perfect in under an hour. This will be my go-to cleaning tool for brass quantities up to about 500 9mm cases or 300 223 cases. The Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler Lite is the perfect tool for cleaning medium sized lots of brass. F)įrankford Arsenal makes a case dryer that should work great (haven’t used it yet myself):

Place brass on cookie sheet and bake in oven (low heat, about 150 deg.

Air dry on towell (they need to be FULLY dry inside before loading).

I like to leave the cap and window/gasket off the drum so that it can dry out inside.įor drying brass you have some good options:

Pour brass and solution into strainer or media separator.

Wait 20-60 minutes (longer if you’re restoring very tarnished brass).

Pour in cleaning solution (Here I’m trying Frankford Arsenal cleaning solution which works great).

Pour in tumbling media (I use stainless pins, enough to mostly cover brass).

Fill drum with brass (up to 300 223 cases for reference).

Open the drum (screw off lid, remove window and gasket).

Wet tumbling with the Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler Lite is super easy! Here are the steps (my cleaning process, options will vary) Wet Tumbling with the Rotary Tumbler Lite The cap has an integrated carry handle, making it easy to screw on and off as well as making it a easy to carry the drum, even when full of brass and media.
