How's Everyone Cleaning Pulled Bullets?

[spur0701]

The American Reloading pulled bullets I've been getting have been pretty clean but just gotten some of the .40 FMJ that are too filty....how's everyone cleaning some of these things us? Just walnut media with a little mineral spirits in a tumbler?

I ran them for 30 mins in some filthy walnut. They came out not perfect, but much much better.

Im going to have to try that. Did you use he pins,Dawn and lemishine? I tumble with just brass and dawn and get really good results but without the pins the primer pockets remain dirty.

Mine have all been gorgeous, haven't had to clean any of them yet. But, I still have 3 more boxes to open, so I suppose some could be dirty.

I only used the lemishine and some water. Pins are really only good for inside stuff such as primer pockets and inside cases. For the bullets, they will rub on each other and have the same effect so you can add more bullets instead of the pins. Just to be clear i did run them every way possible. Pins/no pins, soap/no soap etc and they all had the exact same results as using just the lemishine

Thanks for the details Jmoreno88. Highly appreciated! I will use just that. I have another 1500 45ACP to do.

Brand new to reloading, does American reloading only sell pulled bullets?

Sometimes, they advertise as pulled, but you get new One order gave me new xtreme 180gr 40s, also 124gr 9mm too. Most have been pulled with slight marks. You really cant find anything cheaper. Patients is the key however as it does take 3-4 weeks for your order to show up. My last order came in 3 weeks record time!

Rocky mountain is another good source as nereloading. They will ship door to door in about 3 or 4 days. Got some deals on pulled Hst from both places.

Good luck with your new found hobby!

+1 for Rocky Mountain Reloading.

These deals on pulls from American Reloading are unbeatable. But RMR has quality stuff, great prices, fast shipping, and great service.
