Sweet thanks a lot for the tip I'm just getting into reloading my press and accessories should be here within the weekccrow175 said:3 parts water 1 part simple green, just enough to cover the brass in a bucket. Simple green is a hell of a lot cheaper than cleaning media. Once they're clean rinse them off and set them on a towel to dry overnight, also I don't just let them sit in the simple green, I shake them around and stir it with my hands, works really well
