    So What Happens When You.................................

    ...................................put 307 10mm cases in the wet rotary tumbler and completely forget the Lemi-shine and Dawn dishwashing soap?


    You get still clean (The black carbon deposits are still gone) but very dull brass. Guess I'll have to do a final polish in the corncob and vibratory tumbler. The mind is a terrible thing to waste!

    I've done the same thing when in a hurry, except I added way too much lemishine.. Brass came out dull and even felt weird... Back into the tumbler they went...

    Nah, just threw them in the old vibratory tumbler I still have with some corncob and NuFinish wax, they came out nice and shiny.
