Thread: have you tried tumbling brass in rice?

What is this fixation with shiny shiny brass?
It doesn't shoot any better.
Yes I can detect problems in a case without it being shiny.
I don't lose cases in the scrub and cannot find them due to them not glittering.

I stopped super cleaning brass ages ago after going the tumbler, ultrasonic, wet SS pins when I decided it was a non value (and time consuming) adding process.
All I do is remove any carbon from the necks using Krazy Kloth, stiff nylon brush clean inside the necks, clean primer pockets (some wI'll argue this us not necessary).
The only cleaning issue is heavy build up inside cases with certain types of powder in which case a wet SS clean is the only way to clean them.

But, I can understand pistol shooters picking up all their (100s of ?) brass off the range floor and throwing it in a tumbler though.

And on the Brasso use, I can remember Toby posting several years ago that he cleaned his brass with Brasso. He got a lot of oh no no no's. Equally a few posted that they had always cleaned with Brasso and had experienced no issues.
I'm in the don't use Brasso camp but probably more for the reasons about cleaning above.
