drying bulk brass post Stainless Tumble the easy way.

Yes I've used the oven on 225 and a cookie sheet for years for the .223's. Takes about 20 minutes.

This is what I do. It boils the water off, impossible for it to still be wet.

Would a toaster/oven do the same thing? I have one that we aren't using.

Yes. That's what I use. Picked up an ugly one for like $5 at goodwill. Made the wife happy that I wasn't using the kitchen oven.

I use an Excalibur dehydrator. Work good and has enough capacity to keep up with my tumbler

I have been using the oven drying method for years. I have multiple cookie sheets just for that purpose.

However most of the time I just let the cases sit on a towel and air dry. I have never needed brass immediately. So if it takes a few days no worries....

I air dry mine. My basement is relatively dry. Cases lying on a towel are dry within a day or two. Not worth the bother to add a drying method, if you have enough brass to cycle through.

When I anneal I use compressed air, a few puffs and dry as a bone. Kinda sucks during winter though

I use Frankford Arsenal dryer. 1 hour for each 600 pieces of bottleneck brass or 2000 pistol brass. Same concept as food dehydrater. 168 degrees too temperature. Not sure what a dehydrater temp is.

I did not even know there was such as thing as a designated brass dryer - I called it an oven

Talk about re-branding or re-purposing a food dehydrator. I love it - wish I would have thought of that.

I dried 350 rounds of 300 win mag brass and about 100 357 rounds in about 1/1/2 hours last night. Seems like faster drying time keeps spots off my brass after tumbling ss pins using 1/4 teaspoon of lemishine and 1 1/2 tablespoons of dawn. I'm never going to vibratory clean again. I hate cleaning primer pockets with a passion. I think I paid around $57.00 for dryer from Amazon and when I got it I saw the food dehydrater sat Home Depot for around $39.00. They both look the same to me. Six trays with heater and fan forcing down from the top.

I bought a Magic Chef dehydrator off eBay for $20 bucks, delivered. It's 4 trays can dry all I can get into a Rebel 17 tumbler and will have it dry before the next stuff is clean.
