Clothes dryer might be effective, but for the noise. Can't find the brass setting on mine.

LOL! Actually, someone did just that with a clothes dryer and some towels to help with the noise. It worked, but it was still noisy.

I baked them at 200 degrees F. for about 45 minutes. Got 'em nice and dry. But they're still not as bright, shiny, "new-looking" as when I dry-tumble. Actually, they have a very slight lavender tint to them. Maybe that's an indication that I'm using too much Lemi-Shine; I remember reading that somewhere. Maybe half a .45 ACP-case full of Lemi-Shine, vs. a whole case full, would be better. I had already reduced the amount of Dawn soap. Perhaps I should reduce that some as well.

On the other hand, the cases are clean inside and out, including the primer pockets, as expected. Also, I can do over 1,000 of them at once, whereas 350 is the max when dry-tumbling. Finally, lead-dust exposure is minimized. So, given those benefits, I can live with the "not quite new looking" appearance of the brass.

Still going to continue tweaking the recipe.

My clothes dryer has a setting and rack you can put inside it that allows the interior to spin but the rack itself does not. It's for sweaters and such.

You could also put them on a tray in front of a speaker playing nominating speeches for Keven Mctrumpy--the hot air should get the job done. [/s]

Ha! :-D Any other politician should work fine as well (Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, etc.). I'm betting those three would just melt the brass from the temperature of the air. :-D
