1967spud Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 50% white vinegar and 2 teaspoons of bi-carb soda clean the cases very well with a 30 minute run. I tried to add liquid brasso to if it would polish the cases at the same time but it doesn't mix well with the vinegar. Give them a quick rinse and leave them to dry Job done tried this recipe , well it went tits up first botlle , it all frothed up, i wasnt expecting that second time i got the case in and turned on the cleaner it then frothed over the side third time lucky i cut back on the the two tablespoons of bi carb the only prob noe i can see is every time i go shooting i am going to want to eat fish and chips with the smell of the vinegar so far machine has been on for 1 cycle of 480 secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967spud Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 getting there now, needed about 8 cycles to clean properly question : is there any ammonia in vinegar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 put cases in (dont use the white basket),cover with warm water, 2 squirts fairy, 2 glugs of white wine vinegar.. a couple of 480 sec runs will have em spankin'. it does however remove the colour left by the lapua annealing process so it must be stripping some content from the brass.

Offroad Gary Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 cheers mate ive spilt all me vinegar so ill try again tommorow , i can get the colour back by tumbling and using a brass cleaner i tumble afterwards using walnut media and a couple of squirts of "autoglym super resin polish", with some tumble dryer freshner sheets in the mix to collect the dust. works well.
