Dillon Rapid Polish 290
I've never used polish in my media in the past, but picked up a bottle of this stuff today. If I use this stuff, do I have to clean the brass after tumbling?

Just add 2 or three caps full or the equivilent of 290, add your cases and tumble. When they come out they shine. Clean out the flash holes and you are ready to go.(as far as case looks) The next time you may not have to add 290, it stays on your media. It speed up the polishing process.

How far does a bottle go? I'm thinking of ordering some. I load around 150 to 200 30 06 size cases a week. I just picked up a 50 lbs bag of crushed walnut and I'm just wondering how many bottles to order to get me through a couple of months?

I have used the Dillon polish but now use a small ammount of liquid car wax for the same results. On other boards I have seen some home brews, all say the same "just make sure what you add does not contain ammonia"


I am one gun away from being happy

Big GrinBoilerroom,

I have only used Dillon Rapidpolish, and heard of it being used in corn cob media. I don't know if it will soak into walnut media.

I have some walnut media that has some jeweler's rouge mixed into it, but I am not liking it very much. It leaves a film on the brass that I need to clean off before I load it, or it gums up the resizing die

Boilerroom, I use the 290 and 3 capfuls will do a couple of loads for me of about 75 cases, twice. So I guess there would be about 35 capfuls or so in a bottle (just guessing) so that would be 12 or so groups of 300 cases--so thats my math--It does seem to polish them up a bit better, and I don't change my media quite as often either, so it has a dual benefit for me.

I just bought 50 lbs of walnut off a fellow who swears by this polish. Says its way quicker than the rouge.

Fish...Thanks. thumb
