I was wondering whats the average amount of time any of you experienced reloaders tumble your brass?
Im using crushed walnut, a cap full of Nu-Finish and a couple of used dryer sheets.
I've left my brass tumbling for 24hrs and it comes out nice and shiney. However I've not checked on my brass every hour on the hour to find out if it only needs 2, 3, 4 or 10 hrs in the tumbler.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
PS: Im new to reloading, I had a bunch of brass I tumbled about a year ago, its been stored in plastic bags and the bags in ammo cans. This brass has a bright almost golden color to it. The brass I tumbled today is nice and shiny but more pale than the older brass I have. Is that somthing that happens over time or do I need to tumble my latest batch of brass longer (than 24 hrs) to get the shiny golden yellow look?
