Hornady "One Shot" NH Case Polish

I like my brass to look super shiny when I reload.  I use the red tumbling media, but the stuff is super dusty.  I get dust buildup in my Dillon primer slide, and dust all over my press, floor, bench.  If I don't wear a dust mask, I choke on the dust when I sift the brass out.

I tried some Hornady "One Shot" case polish and added it to the media according to the instructions, and not only did it do a better job of shining up my brass, but the dust is gone, there is no residue left behind on the brass, and there is no mess.  It did what it said it would, but I will never tumble again without it!

I save so much time by not having to clean the residue out of my press.  THANK YOU HORNADY ONE SHOT!!

I went to SS pins three years ago and will never look back.

YMMV

any good liquid car wax will do a good job added to your corn cob or crushed shells

that's what works for me...

and, adding one of those used up dryer static sheets...

Dillon Rapid Polish and drier sheets for me. NuFinish car polish is what I hear recommended most often.

Since we're on the subject of case polishing. I have heard that polishes or cleaners containing ammonia should not be used for case cleaning. Is this true and if so why?

Thanks

something about a chemical reaction between the ammonia and the brass that makes the brass more likely to split.

 X2!  If you go the SS route make sure you get the 3000rpm model. Much faster process than the standard 1500rpm model. 

Over time I would get gunk build up on the press with the polishes.

Where do you get SS pins?

It is a totally different cleaning system that uses the stainless steel media, water, Dawn and a dash of Lemi-Shine. Most use the Thumbler Tumbler Model B (high speed- 3000 rpm).
Use can read about it at the link below, it actually does get your brass that clean in 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

polish alert. Do not use polishes containing amonia for cleaning brass to be shot. amonia makes brass brittle and prone crack or worse fail at base. I was a class 06 ammo mfg. for 20 yrs.
