My first thought is It seems like that would be way more soap than needed. Then again, I use the FART Lite with just the tiniest squirt of detergent.

Hereith I am.
Yes, I use them and think they're great, convenient, and with this particular brand, no need to argue with dawn users cause they have dawn in them too. In a FART lite BTW.

Yes quite a bit of detergent, but the brass and pins don't know that.

And they come out with the mountain fresh scent too? I'm in! Seems to be way more convenient just hope my wife doesnt notice her supply dwindling lol. Gonna give them a run without pins first as pins are a pita

Curious on the quantity of suds remaining after the tumbling cycle.
I have the larger 7L FA tumbler and currently use 1 oz FA liquid brass cleaner + 1 oz Armor All W&W:
Not enough soap = hardly any suds left over. "More than enough" soap = 'never-ending' suds, with most going down the drain after I tumble. I've adjusted my quantity of chemicals to land me somewhere in-between hardly any and more than enough.
Variables? Almost endless, with a lot depending on your water source and how dirty your brass is,,,. I'm happy I found a combination that works for me.

I quit using pins a while back. Couple squirts of Dawn and a quarter teaspoon of Lemishine gets the inside and outside of the cases squea clean. The pins do a nice job on primer pockets, but I generally use a pocket uniformed on those anyway.

Everyone should use what they like But wash and wax is cheep and cleans brass shiny. It also leaves wax on brass so it sizes easy through carbide dies. I use what ever car wash and wax is cheapest. A little squirt is all it takes. Good luck Bob

No suds to speak of

Curious as to suds...I fill tumbler with water within an inch of top and regardless of what cleaner I might use I don't get suds unless I forcefully spray water into when I rinse. Not sure I'd be bothered if I did get suds, but you must get a lot?

Well I add a tablespoon of salsa if I plan on hot loads and to get rid of the fresh scent.

Found this picture on thread I started two years ago after using pods for first time. And this is with the "standard" pods. Not the "plus" I now use. (See, "similar threads" list.)
And not to argue with the brethren above, but show me your brass, don't just talk about it.

Yup. Recognize them. Only old-school green-screen code pounders still wear the Wayfarers. The cool new-school coders wear Metas.
