| Ok, anyone have a good suggestion on how to dry 2-4k cases after washing in lemishine? I usually dry cases outside but it is now under 32 degrees. |

i tried the oven before but i had it at a lower temp. 200 won't mess with the brass? I usually set mine for warm, which is 175. I only leave them for 20-25 minutes. I haven't noticed any ill effects. how many do you usually put in at once and do you lay them flat or stand them up? i have 2k washing right now |

I lay them on their sides and I use two trays. If I had a bunch, I'd just pile 'em up and leave 'em longer. |

Best recommendation after rinsing is to tumble them in a media separator like the big Dillon. Then dump onto a towl and with another towl go over the brass to remove any drops. Then throw all 4k into the oven at once(per-heat is good), 200 Deg for 2 hours, they always come out dry and spotless. I have 4 large, deep cake pans just for this, and we have separate ones to bake cakes in lol.
In the summer, I like many put them in the sun, and the sun works really good. |
| The cheapest way I found was to put them inside wire baskets and blow on it with the fan that comes out of my dehumidifier in my basement. The dehumidifier has to be on 24/7 anyway and so there is absolutely no cost. The dry air coming out of it can dry your brass in 48 hours no problem. Works even faster if the primer is already out. |
