Tumbler media..........

For years I ran two tumblers. Walnut always seemed to work better on really dirty brass and corncob gave me a better polish. About 10 years ago I went to wet tumbling with the stainless pins and never looked back. My two vibratory tumblers have been gathering dust since.

I had to do some experimenting with solutions on the wet tumbler but I settled on 2 to 3 Oz of ArmorAll automotive wash and wax with a little lemishine (citric acid). Even heavily tarnished cases come out looking like new in one to two hours. The only downside is for best results you need to decap before cleaning and it takes the cases a little while to dry.

A huge advantage I have noticed is it is much easier to visually inspect the powder charge since the inside of the case is clean and shiny.
