So its been about a year since I asked on this forum about the need for cleaning brass. I never did get around to buying a tumbler as most recommended. I wasn't reloading pistol ammo at the time,only a small amount of 30-30. Now I'm reloading pistol ammo and thought I should probably revisit cleaning my brass. Since I still haven't gotten around to buying a tumbler,I threw some brass into a container with a screw on lid after adding some Tide laundry detergent and hot water. After shaking it periodically over a couple of days, it came out pretty darn good. I rinsed it thoroughly and let it dry for a few days. Seems like a good way to go. Anybody else use this method?
