It can be messy, especially when the media isn\u2019t so new and all that dirty dust fills the air. And it can be time-consuming and noisy.

The whole unit weighs about 25 pounds, primarily due to a very solid base and internal motor. Five pounds of that is stainless steel cleaning media \u2013 little needles that are about \u00bc\u201d long and provide the friction and abrasion to scrub the brass clean.<\/p>\n<p>It literally comes with everything you need to get started and get your brass shiny clean and ready to reload. You can go from opening the box to cleaning brass in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You simply pour in your dirty brass \u2013 filling the tumbler about half-full is recommended. For most handgun calibers, that can be a couple thousand pieces. Next, add the stainless steel cleaning media that is supplied with the Cyclone. Use all five pounds of it. This is what will scrub the brass inside and out, so you want all of it in there.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63654\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-lyman-cyclone-step-professional-strength-brass-cleaning\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63654\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210-375x300.jpg\" alt=\"The rubber-lined tumbling canister is one of the reasons for quiet operation. \" width=\"375\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210-375x300.jpg 375w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00210.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-63654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The rubber-lined tumbling canister is one of the reasons for quiet operation.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Lyman provides a sample of their brass cleaner solution \u2013 a 2 oz. packet. Instructions indicate that you\u2019ll need half of that for each use. It can be purchased separately in convenient 32 oz. bottles, and the math is easy enough even for me to do \u2013 that\u2019s 32 cycles of tumbling. And if you\u2019re cleaning a couple thousand cases per cycle that could add up to 64,000 brass cases cleaned per bottle of solution. I picked up a bottle for about $22. That works out to $0.0003 per case \u2013 or just over 34 cents per thousand.<\/p>\n<p>Next step, just fill the canister to near the top with plain water. You\u2019ll see the cleaner already foaming up. Install the inner seal lid, being sure it and the lip of the canister are clean for a good seal. Then screw on the outer cap snugly and you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>The timer on the Cyclone will go up to three hours. Set the timer as desired and let the Cyclone do its work. Lyman says that two hours is about adequate for a half-full tumbler. More time might be needed if you fill it up more or have seriously dirty brass.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63656\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-lyman-cyclone-step-professional-strength-brass-cleaning\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63656\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212-375x300.jpg\" alt=\"The timer can be set for up to 3 hours, and the machine is auto-off when time expires. \" width=\"375\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212-375x300.jpg 375w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00212.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-63656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The timer can be set for up to three hours, and the machine is auto-off when time expires.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The strong bearings, quiet motor, and rubber-lined tumbler make the Lyman Cyclone run quietly. The machine is made of industrial quality parts, and this is where it pays off. I was surprised how much the rubber lining in the tumbler quiets the sound. When the tumbling is complete, take the canister back to the sink to drain the tumbler. The two basket system allows you to dump the entire contents and will separate the cleaning media from the brass cases. A utility type sink is best, because if your wife catches you doing this in the kitchen you\u2019ll probably be sleeping in the dog house. If that isn\u2019t an option \u2013 you might just be able to take it outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>Rinse the tumbler out several times and thoroughly rinse and agitate the brass cases. This will remove all the cleaning solution and separate the stainless steel cleaning media. Lyman recommends spreading the clean cases out to dry. Putting an old towel underneath and using a hair dryer makes quick work of it and ensures no water or solvent spots. This process was far easier than I\u2019d imagined it might be, and because you\u2019re handling pristine freshly cleaned brass, there is no unpleasantness. No dust cloud from dumping brass and solid media (i.e. corncob or crushed walnuts) into a sifter. It took only a minute or two with the dryer and it was done.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_63657\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-lyman-cyclone-step-professional-strength-brass-cleaning\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63657\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214.jpg\" alt=\"The cases come out so clean they look brand new. \" width=\"900\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214-375x300.jpg 375w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00214-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-63657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cases come out so clean they look brand new.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m sold on the Lyman Cyclone system after comparing the inside of cases that were cleaned twice as long in a vibratory cleaner to the cases cleaned with the Cyclone!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>MIDSOUTH SHOOTERS\u2019 GUNSAMERICA GIVEAWAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016catalog.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gear-review-lyman-cyclone-step-professional-strength-brass-cleaning\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Lyman Cyclone Brass Cleaning System - Stainless Rods Clean Better than Walnuts &amp; Corncobs\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-63558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016catalog-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"2016catalog\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016catalog-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016catalog-117x150.jpg 117w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016catalog.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/a>Midsouth Shooters is a great resource for products like the above pieces at great prices.
