Case Preparation & Cleaning for Reloading – Essential First Step

Cleaning spent brass cases and then reconditioning them with suitable tools is the foundation for achieving precise, high-performance ammunition.

Tumblers from All Major Brands

We offer a complete range of brass tumblers—dry, vibratory, and wet rotary systems—from all recognized brands in the industry:

• Dry vibratory tumblers using corn-cob or walnut media for fast, economical cleaning.
• Rotary wet tumblers (with stainless steel pins and cleaning solution) for deep internal and external polishing, including primer pocket and flash-hole cleaning.
• Ultrasonic cleaners for precision cleaning via cavitation and controlled solutions.

Complement tumblers with abrasive media (corn cob, walnut shell), stainless steel pins, polishing additives, cleaning solution, and media separators for efficient drying and media recovery.

Recommended Case Prep Workflow – “Like New” Results

1. Visual inspection: Sort and discard damaged cases before processing.
2. Dry or wet tumbling: Choose based on finish needs and throughput.
3. Dry thoroughly: Ensure no residual media or moisture remains.
4. Lubricate and decap: Prepare for resizing without die damage.
5. Trimming: Use precision trimmers to restore correct case length.
6. Chamfer/Deburr: Clean the neck edges for smooth bullet seating.
7. Primer pocket and flash-hole tools: Ensure ideal ignition consistency.
8. Measurement and gauging: Verify headspace, length, and concentricity before priming.

Essential Tools for Case Reconditioning

• Micrometer-capped case trimmers for exact length control.
• Internal/external chamferers and deburr tools for neck finishing.
• Gauges and case measurement tools to confirm reloaded case geometry.
• High-quality lubricants and case prep sprays to preserve dies and smooth sure-fire processing.
• Pocket and flash-hole cleaning tools to maintain reliability.

Reloading Best Practices & Insights

• Adjust tumbling time based on brass condition—longer cycles for dirtier brass.
• Sort brass by caliber and number of firings to enhance consistency.
• Ensure proper drying after wet tumbling (e.g., low-temperature heat or forced air).
• Document case length, headspace, and trim settings after processing each batch.
