   Has anybody used this product? I only reload 2-3 hundred rounds a year and can't see buying a tumbler. Somewhere I thought I read that it was reusable. Will i have to pay a hasmat fee if i get it shipped? thanks, TVC15

Yeah i have tried brass cleaners like that and its not worth the hassel to me. i don't even use stuff like that in my tumbler. I have had problem with some of my reloading dies when i polished cases up with that stuff. hard to resize. I would wait and get a tumbler and just use a good meida with no additives.

If you do just a few you can do what I did when i started many years ago. Find a motor such as comes out of a washing machine and as the shaft is turning file it to a taper. Put the case on it as it is spinning and with a cloth wipe it down with Flitz or other brass cleaner. They come out like new. The taper depends on case size. I had one for rifle and one for handgun. Works fine.

If you're talking about the liquid -

I've used it.

Yes, it's reusable.

Maybe limited to UPS Ground, but no Hazmat fee.

I wouldn't use it again.

Used it on .38s - rinsed and rinsed and rinsed - the cases still turned out mottled black - didn't seem to hurt them any, but they're UGLY.

I used to use that stuff... It worked great, just had to keep in the dip to around 5 mins or they'd start to turn.. I always rinsed with boiling water and set them, spread out on a towel over a heat vent for drying...

If you use that I might suggest buy a brass cleaner cloth(its treated with a brass cleaner concentrate that would take off ALL dirt and discoloration, so use gloves), as an added tool ..

Just do all your sizing and trimming before the dip and you'll be fine... :)
As for the hazmat fee, never heard of it and didnt have to pay it when I bought mine..
My sweety bought me a tumbler last christmas and I LOVE IT !!
