This Topic has only one purpose.
To share MY Test Results of one particular product as it pertains to the manufacturer’s claims.
There is no need to discuss how clean brass needs to be to reload it.
There is no need to discuss other methods or equipment used to clean brass.
There is no need to discuss other cleaning products or personal recipes.
BRASS JUICE CASE WASH by The Reloading Station / Texas Brass Co.
The Manufacturer claims:
No Stainless Steel Media Required
Designed for use with sonic cleaner and rotary tumblers
Removes fouling, tarnish and oxidation from brass cases
Cleans cases inside and out including primer pockets
“INCLUDING PRIMER POCKETS”
That is the claim that got my attention since I tumble with stainless pins and my primer pockets are spotless after tumbling for 3 hours.
RESULTS: The Primer Pockets did NOT clean up after 3 hours of tumbling.
The process that I used:
Thumler’s Model “B” Rotary Tumbler.
1 Gallon Distilled Water (Per Instructions).
2 Ounces of Case Wash (Per instructions).
126 Brass Cases, .308 Win.
Per Thumler’s Chart, I run 120 Cases with 5/lbs of Pins.
The cases were mixed manufacturers.
Some were once fired, twice fired (previously cleaned with pins) and some range pick-up brass.
After one hour of tumbling, the exterior of the cases looked like jewelry, but the inside & primer pockets showed minimal cleaning.
After two hours…. Not much improvement on the pockets or interior.
After three hours…. Looked the same as they did after two hours.
I stopped after three hours.
That’s as long as I tumble with Pins.
I have a friend that is supposed to test the product in his Ultrasonic Unit, but he hasn’t had a chance yet.
