Cleaning 34 lbs of 9mm the easy way

This was the second time using the harbor freight concrete mixer and this time we got some Lemi-shine to test. Does the Lemi-shine really make a difference, you be the judge...

Now that's a tumbler! I have so much brass I see a concrete mixer in the near future!!

Tread, I don't know how I never saw this before today. What an awesome video!

[@Tread70]

Thanks John

Boy that’s a load of brass! That worked really well 🙂👍👍

[@Pappy7064]

I can't believe I watched 4 minutes of rinsing brass.

[@Jean-sc1bw]

Wet cleaning without decapping is not the way to go. In a short time, primer will corrode in the casing. Resizing will just blow the primer bottom - scrapping the case.

[@Tread70]

If you think that....

Now that's the way to do it👍 Willie Bulletman sent me.

I like the fact it is so benchtop portable, ;-) Good job

[@Tread70]

Great for the benchtop 😁

[@FilthyAngryIrishPeasant]

KILLER. Maybe using a very powerful (not destuctive) to the still soing brass in an ultrasonic cleaner might bust up the really dirty cases. Brass is out of sight now.

[@duanepayne1805]

Go easy on the Lemi-Shine and don't leave them in water with the lemi-Shine overnight or it will discolor the cases.

Super idea!
Leni shine ? ? ?
Not my country, what is it, what is the composition?
Green liquid is hand dishwashing I suppose?

[@Tread70]

Dish soap and citric acid powder(lemishine) minimal on the citric acid like 1/2 teaspoon for this large load.

[@KrugerrandFarms]

OOPS! OOPS! I saw a 380 case in there !

[@Tread70]

That is highly possible, re-sort after cleaning as well

[@saltsea9499]

What are you using as your screen? That looks sturdy.

[@Tread70]

I believe my Dad made it out of expanded metal.

[@smsgtbulldog]

I think the Lemi-shine made a difference

[@Tread70]

I think so too...thanks for watching.

[@jamespollard1670]

You don't mess around when cleaning brass .

[@chrismclaughlin6202]

So the primer pockets are still nasty... Must deprime first.

[@Tread70]

For Pistol ammo, just do yourself a test. Deprime 10-20 and clean as you do. Then, don't deprime the same amount and load the same. Then go to your range and shoot the first five of each over a chrono, and what difference is made. You can make a video, shoot the next five at 2 targets at the same distance and show what the difference is.

[@maxball6388]

Depends on cleaning method. I deprimed a batch of .38 and then dry tumbled and it was a pain in the ass getting the pocket free of debris

[@gpav1]

How big is the mixer? 4.3cu.ft or bigger??

[@Tread70]

Red harbor freight small mixer

[@gpav1]

@@Tread70 if you can believe…. This just showed up on my feed…. Crazy slow

[@talibanking]

No stainless media?

[@Tread70]

Nope, probably would polish them up, but wasn't worried about polish just clean. Polished doesn't shoot any better or worse than dull. Thanks for watching.
