Frankford Arsenal tumbler for $35 plus s&h. Recipies to soak filthy brass in, in a bucket. I think this case is closed.

Donkee--I wouldn't use any solvent, including terps, in a plastic bowl tumbler. Plastics generally don't like solvents, and vice versa.

Suggestion: If the brass doesn't clean right up in a tumbler, after a nice soak/slosh in one of the recipies, it was too dirty to bother with in the first place and don't waste any more time/effort on it, unless it is special for some reason (e.g. very unusual cartridge, etc.) We ARE talking range pickups here, after all. The time & effort needed to clean up stubbornly dirty range brass would be better spent going back to the range and collecting some more range brass, some of which would be less stubbornly dirty, and all of which has value, taken in and sold as scrap. And that way you get another shooting session, and make some nice clean brass of your own to reload.

Road Warrior--Couldn't raise that "Spirit of '76 Gun Pages" website other than the recipies page. It looks interesting; never heard of it; could you give the web address of the homepage? Thanx in advance.
