Super polishing brass

[Bug Splat]

The other night I was a little bored and was cleaning brass by hand like I do sometimes when I feel like working on loads but don't want to leave the couch. So I'm sitting there with a bucket of 223 brass and a towel wiping off dried case lube. I was noticing how dingy the brass was looking and it was taking too much elbow grease to get it off. So I grabbed my Lee Lock Stud and chucked the case into my cordless drill and spun the case in the towel. looking nice.....but it could be nicer. I hunted around my garage for so steal wool but came up short. I spotted an old leather work glove and the light in my head turned on. I cut a finger off the glove, turned it inside out and spun the case inside the leather finger. Only took a few seconds to wipe off all the case lube leftovers and bring the case to a high polish.

I did this for 200 cases and I have a bucket of 1000+ cases waiting for the same treatment. For those of you like me who don't mind taking the extra time this isn't a bad way to polish your brass by hand. It takes a little pressure on the leather to polish and the case can get very hot but its worth it to see them shine so bright.

Anyway, just thought I would share.

Just throw them in the tumbler and call it a day.

old news, if you ever heard of Flitz, just a dab will make that shine like a mirror, if you dont mind doing it 1000 times.

Sometimes I feel like working on the couch. It's the messed up wiring in my head that has to be doing something even while I'm sitting.

I've heard of using Flizt on a cloth but I've not heard of using leather to polish the case. Sorry if its old news, I was happy about my find.

Tumbler is all I ever do. Too much work to polish one case at a time when loading 2000+ per session.

try 0000 steel wool, wrap it around a bore brush and do the inside of the case neck also. I see you looked for some already

Flitz does work really well. I guess I'm lucky using a bolt action, I only have 20 to polish..
