........NO.....I was told that it will harm the brass due to the chemical action of Brasso.....ammonia or such.....and NOT to use it on brass cases....the "made for reloading cleaners" usually state "no ammonia" in their descriptions..........hth..good luck and good shooting-reloading!!

I dont know. Having been using brasso since early 60's and havant run into a problem yet that I am aware of. When my crushed walnut shell starts to get worn I drop 2 or 3 capfulls in, let it run 10 or 15 min then dump my brass in and let it do its thing. I have also heard brass isant good because of the amonia in it. Some guys add liquid car wax (just a couple of cap fulls) and it rejuvinates the media. I dont want to start a P---ing in the wind thing here this is just what I do. Another thing you can get a 50lb bag of crushed walnut shell at your feed store (the farm type store) for about $12.00 and this will give you a lot of bowl changes. This price sure beats what they want in the gun shops for the same thing (a buck or so a pound in the shops or pet stores)
