Tumbling 22-250

[gyman98]

What do you use for cleaning 22-250,223,222 etc.? I used corncob in about twenty test cases and while it worked fine it took forever to get it out of the cases.

I use crushed walnut bird litter with a capful of dillon blue stuff for my 204 ruger, pours right out, and is cheap (or is that cheep? ) Some people get large quantity's from autobody supply shops (used for blasting paint off I'd assume) but I haven't found a supply in my area, I just head to petsmart and get a few large bags.

X2 for Lizard Litter (crushed walnut) from the pet store.

Ok, I'll pick up some crushed walnut's, I just wasn't sure if it was small enough to pour out.

Anyone ever tried sand? Its likely to aggresive for brass but just curious.

A dillon case separator shakes all the #### out of the cases in a couple of turns.

Extra fine corn cob will not get stuck in the primer pockets or flash holes. I scoop my cases out of the tumbler with a big slotted kitchen spoon while the tumbler is running. Hold the cases against the inside of the bowl mouth down, and the media vibrates out.

Colt is correct.

Thank you. I hear that sooo rarely.

You might be correct but I don't have a dillion
