Alternative for lemishine?

[Griffo13]

As the title says really, been using lemishine In my wet tumbler as advised when purchasing my reloading set up. Surely there is better/cheaper alternative options ? Thanks

Just get the actual stuff, it's cheap as chips!

Citric Acid anhydrous crystals

1Kg £5.49 on Amazon or Ebay item number 394797261116

Buy a larger quantity and it's even cheaper, but at 1/4 teaspoon a go even 1Kg should last a very long time!

It's purpose isn't to "bleach" the brass, it's to soften the water so the washing up liquid and pins can do their job more effectively.

I’ve got a few tubs to keep me going for a long time but I did try regular dishwasher rinse aid. From what I remember gave exactly the same result.

I tried the dishwasher stuff, but thought it left a coating.

Interesting! I always use in conjunction with Fairy lemon washing up liquid. The other varieties don’t seem to work as well.
