Last night I had some extra time with nothing to do but drink some beers. So I had some dirty range brass that I seperatedby calibers that can be tumbled together. 30/06, 308, 243, 223, 300 Blackout, 30 cal carbine.
I dug out one of my dry tumblers and dry tumbled the dirt brass in walnut media for two hours.
My Lyman dry tumbler
The brass after dry tumbling.
Then I put it in my Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler for an hour.
Look how much crude that was left on the cases after they were dry tumbled for two hours.
The brass after I wet tumbled it.
I dug out the old dry tumbler to actually see and compare the difference between two tumbling methods.
This is why I strictly wet tumble
I like my brass completely clean inside and out.
Does it have to be super clean?
NO, but if you take the time to tumble your brass why not get it absolutely clean.
I have three wet tumblers for when I buy large volumes of range brass.
I have several dry tumblers the are taking up space on a shelf.
