Just got a new rotary tumbler with steel media. Hoping it gives me brass that looks just like Happyguy's (Anybody who has made a trade with him knows what I am talking about!)
Tired of my vibratory one not cleaning the black out of my primer pockets.
you get this from stainless steel media?
It specifically says will clean out the crud from primer pockets. We shall see.
1-2 lbs less brass than pins and I run mine about 85 rpm. It does work depending on how messed up the brass is and how long you run them for.Quote:

Which is why I tried the rotary with steel. I have a perfect functioning vibratory tumbler. Makes a good backup if I have a TON of brass to process at one time.
Use the vibratory tumbler with corn cob to dry the cleaned brass. I just shake the cleaned brass around in a towel to get most of the water off and out of and then dump it in the corn cob to dry, about 15 minutes and no water spots. I use steel shot and not stainless steel pins. David
What size steel shot? I mean the pins came with the tumbler, so I'm going to try them first, but if they DON'T do the same for my brass as yours......
I mean that's why I am even trying it. Because the brass I have traded with you looked so shiny I thought you sent me virgin brass.

I use BB and #4 together. David
Thank you, going right to Graf and Sons to see if they carry it. Like them because they give good discounts for having a copy of my C&R on file with them.
Edit: Went there, they do and even better yet, still in stock! But like I said, I'll try the pins out first.
