Brass shavings

Big Yac · November 1, 2005, 05:20 PM

After trimming, chamfering, and deburring my brass I have some brass shavings left over inside so I clean them out the best I can with a small brush. Can the little shavings left over in the case affect the way powder burns or affect accuracy or even chamber pressures? I know its a very small amount...do I really have to worry about this at all?

"...do I really have to worry about this at all?" The short answer is no.

If you tap each case, mouth down, on a hard surface once you shouldn't have a significant amount brass bits left in the case.
