You won't be disappointed.

Was I right???

Was I right???

Damn right you were!

 

[Wired leader]

Now you have to go shooting to get it dirty....so you can tumble it again....then shoot it again. Addicting isn't it???

I have to admit wired knows what he's talking about great advice to guys just starting out, I know that feeling of oh my god it's so clean stainless does an amazing job

 

[Wired leader]

It not to hard to clean the brass, but I learned a few things along the way and I am only too happy to pass that knowledge along to help anyone starting out.

Enjoy the obsession guys...and tight groups.!

I should have mentioned, just the tumblers. Media is a different story. You'll still have to go through Sinclair or someone on the forums here to get the pins.



let me know how that goes, i'd be interested to try it out. Is it less abrasive?

I'm principally a black powder cartridge rifle shooter. A lot of guys in the BPCR/BPTR world have moved from ceramic to stainless but some have run into case mouth peening depending on how the tumbler is filled, and the motor speed. The stainless pins seem to clean a bit better than ceramic from what I've read, but there seem to be fewer peening issues. I spend a lot of tim getting my brass just right and don't want to risk peening the case mouths.

I load black powder cartridges in 38-55...no issues with peening.
Actually, no issues of peening with anything I've tumbled...Period.

Well i was at the range and picked up a couple of peices of brass, just to try this out. I found some particularly nasty looking savage 300's on the ground:

I stuck them in the SSM tumbler for about 2 hours, just to see what would happen. Here's the result:

And inside the case:

I love this thing.

I read somewhere what could only be described as an essay on the whole "peening" or "work hardening" of brass with SS wet tumbling.

Completely de-bunked the idea that SS tumbling harms your brass.

Tumble on...

Have you got a link? I'd love to read it

I believe it was over at AR15.com

I'll see if I can dig it up

Tumble a little longer and it will be like new,..but with more shine.

It's the only way to go...

 

[iduncant]

I'd never go back to ultrasonic

 

[Winchester30-30]

SS is the way to go, gets in the primer pockets, cleans inside and out, makes for very nice and clean brass

The problem I have with the commercially available wet tumbling setups is volume...

In the last 10-12 monhs I've reloaded approximately 8000 rounds of .223 and probably about 6000 9mm..
My home built set up will do upwards of 800 .223 cases at a time...
If I had been using any of the ready made machines I'd STILL be tumbling LoL

 

[iduncant]

What press are you using to load the .223?

What press are you using to load the .223?

Once the brass, mostly once fired Win NT is prepped (sized, trimmed... doesn't need swaging) I crank 'em out on a Dillon550.

I can do about 400 an hour...
