Pre soak them in oxy clean, rinse , then when you're thru cleaning cases, leave the media out of the tumbler , toss them in with some mild detergent and water, run the tumbler for about 20 minutes rinse and let them dry. In Phoenix I asked Dave Gullo how he cleans his. He puts them in a "delicate bag" and runs them in the washing machine on cold so they don't shrink. I imagine that he gives them a good rinse first though. I'm going to try your technique Don.
It'll give me something to do with my tumbler. I've always wanted to see if it was any good for cleaning patches. I'm going to try my new. Chris I have put them in a small dainties bag and ran them in the tumbler, but didn't really see any difference in running them without the bag. Chris one other thing we're finding with the 40 cal set up, running a patch smaller than 2 inches is working well.
Carol ran just one button yesterday , and that worked quite well with the. Don, It looked like a lot of people were trying them yesterday. I had my home made set with me. After the match, Cody and I were going to shoot a few dozen PP test rounds and wipe with them. After shooting Five relays and the fighting the hard winds, the thought shooting test rounds was the last thing on my mind.
So, I might get to them tomorrow if I can take the morning off and shoot. Working out the details. Starting out with too much and removing what is not needed. I think two felts are one more than needed. I follow up with a dry patch PP bullets and a damp patch for GG bullets.
Thanks Don. I will try them out in one of the PP rifles too. I'm curious to run some known loads over the chonograph with the wipers to see if they are more or less consistent than my current wiping routine.
