I couldn't find lemishine so just go with an exact timed squirt of dish soap.  After cleaning I sift out media and rinse brass with warm water in the sink.  Toss em in the dehydrator on high for a while and have perfectly new looking brass.

Check Walmart.  I believe I have seen it there in the past!

I couldn't find it anywhere here in town.  Oh well, at this point I've ran well over 2K pieces through it without using it.  I honestly don't see a point in adding it honestly.

It figures you couldn't find it. All you see at the grocery store is Diet Pepsi and sour patch kids. They do have other isles you know!  :chuckle:

You just have to be the rebel and not use lemishine like the masses too!

When I first started fiddling with better ways to clean, I used wet corn cob  :chuckle:

Probably spent an hour with a compressor getting it out of the cases
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

First batch just came out, was washed and is now drying.  Looks AMAZING!!!!!  Pretty easy process and unbelievable how clean the brass comes.  The water was filthy and this was brass that I had already tumbled in a dry media.   :yike: 

The question begs....is it necessary?  Probably not.....but does it look amazing?  YES!!  Will I go back to dry media?  NO!! 

This is the youtube site that helped the most.  Also shows my recipe of dawn and lemi shine.

Before and after.....this is about 4 hours worth of tumbling and they look great.  Most primer pockets look new....a couple have small burn marks visible.  Inside and outside of case is like new.   :tup:

 Nothing better than loading up a bunch of squeaky clean cases with a proven load!
