removing media dust

[kdlong]

i need some help on my tumbler media. i am using pecan hulls. after i get through tumbling my brass it has a lot of media dust on it.what is a good way to stop the dust or a good way to wash the brass? thanks for the help ahead of time.

I've heard that running the media with small pieces of paper towel can help with the dust. Also, I think people that put NuFinish and mineral spirits in with the media claim that it cuts down on the dust as well.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall someone adding anti static drier sheets to their media.

I use nufinish, just a capfull sprinkled around not just dumped in. also when i started putting in a used dryer sheet is when i noticed the biggest reduction in dust on my cases.

Drier sheets is where its at! I use a bit of mothers in my media as well and look great afterwords!

I used cap full or two of brasso with excellent polishing results and no excessive dust problem that I ever noticed.

You probably know this but products containing ammonia aren't recommended for cleaning rifle or pistol brass. I've been told that the ammonia weakens the brass. Although, you aren't the only reloader that I've heard of using brasso without any issues.

Dryer sheets work well for me.

NuFinish and Dryer sheets for me. I take the used ones from my wife, that way they don't smell as clean. Can't be having brass that smells like "spring breeze" ya know!
