I was out to the range a couple weeks ago and, the line was just full of .223,.45, .40 and 9mm brass people shot and left behind. Now haveing been taught to never waste anything I picked them up. My vibratority case cleaner went tits up and I havent gotten to HF to get another one. I rigged up a coffee can on a VS motor making like a drum tumbler. I was just messin around and I dumped in some old dryed rice the OL was going to pitch out for the birds. So I loaded up the .45 brass in the can( about 100 caseings) dumped in about a pound of the dry rice and let it go for about 2 hours,,, and DAYUM range brass that looked as good as new. Might be a little tuff if the primers were out, blocking the primer holes, but for about an hour of fullin around puttin it together, it worked pretty good

Cool! We use crushed walnut hulls? They seem to work very well. I'd like to find more 9mm and 44 mag brass! ;)
