how to treat brass

[Modificationvt]

I currently do not have a reloader, but I plan on getting one in the future, and because of this I am starting to save my brass, I was wondering what if there was anything I needed to do to keep the brass in good condition, and what the best method of clean is?

i am new to reloading and think this is a great question. i tumble my brass and store them in air tight containers until i us them, i save plastic peanut butter jars and use them for storage. i have been told that you can buy tumbler media at pet stores for a cheap price, i think it is the same stuff people use in lizard cages but i have not checked on this to confirm. also i remember seeing where you could use car wax and mineral spirits in your media, maybe some of the more experienced guys could confirm this.

You can just store them in in heavy ziplok bags until you get ready to start reloading. Then buy a vibrating tumbler, some ground walnut &/or corn cob & abit of Nufinish car polish & away you go.

I throw in some used dryer sheets in one inch sections... maybe 4-5 of them to keep the dust down.
