Tumbling brass question...

[Shinbone]

I'm curious. How long do you usually tumble your brass?
Thanks.

With corn cob and NuFinish about 60-90 minutes.

One morning I discovered I left it on overnight. I was blind for 3 days.

I go 2 to 3 hours. I like mine sparkling. That's with a vibrator type.

I usually go 2hrs with walnut. If it takes more than 3 I throw the media away or use it to clean lube off the cases.
I also did like rfwobbly. Don't need them that shiny again. Don't like running my tumbler that long on purpose.

Wow, I use walnut and usually tumble over night, maybe 8 or 10 hrs.. I have a really good tumbler and use Lyman media too and it just doesn't look nice unless it goes for that long.

I use a Thumler's model "B" rotary and wash with warm water and Tide for 15-20 minutes. (30 minutes it they're really filthy )

I also have a Lyman 1200 vibe that I rarely use anymore, but when I do use it for small batches, I use treated walnut for 3-6 hours. (longer if really dirty)
