The same reaction everyone gets, welcome to the other side. Now let's switch over more people.

It looks better than new.

These threads always drive me crazy. I might as well ditch the dusty media and get on the stainless train. My poor poor visa.

Since I'm just starting out reloading, I get to skip the dusty dry media stage and get set up for the wet tumbling.
I'm scared that the reloads will look so pretty I won't want to shoot them.
First off I have to acquire more brass to start with.

So when you say "wet tumbling" you are using stainless steel media to aid in the cleaning? And what solution are you using in your wet concoction?

It's because of threads like these that I bought myself a rotary tumbler.

What solvent did you use?

 

[Magellann]

From what Ive seen a lot of fellas use a teaspoon of liquid dish soap & Lemishine, or Simple Green, Citrus cleaner, even water & vinegar, but I think the soaps would work better.

Yes, stainless media. I am using Dawn with Lemi Shine and warm water. Mine is the Frankford Arsenal Platinum tumbler, but you can also use the Thumbler. Wish I had this 30yrs ago when I started reloading!

Started with wet, will never go dry.

I dry tumble right now, I'm going to make the change over to wet. But with wet tumbling.. does it tarnish faster because it's right down to the bare brass? Believe I read this somewhere..

Just don't use too much Lemishine and rinse thorougly.

 

[Magellann]

It shouldn't tarnish any faster than factory new brass.

Mine just showed up yesterday. 200 pieces of 260 and 22-250 set to go this evening. How does the solution from frankford arsenal work as opposed to lemishine and dish soap?
