[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2812150, member: 74061"] I’m using the thumlers tumbler it cost more than the FART but I believe it’s heavier duty and it holds a lot more brass than the Franklin armory. Mine is going on 20 years old and still all original down to the plastic drive belt. I messed around with all kinds of wet media stainless balls, ceramic pins, and sunshine media stainless chips (which aren’t magnetic enough) so I keep coming back to stainless pins. Get 5 pounds of it, throw in your brass, a squirt of Dawn dish soap and a 45ACP BRASS full of lemeshine. I used to run it for hours to get that super shine look, but it tends to peen the case mouths too much. 45 mins to an hour is plenty clean. I pull primers first not so much to clean primer pockets as I don’t think that makes a difference on target. But with the primer pulled it’s easier to get all the water and pins out. Pins will occasionally get stuck in the flash hole so you need to look them over carefully before loading. I dry on a cheap jerky machine Before priming. I love my FA multi process brass trim machine. I trim, chamfer, debur and brush necks all on one tool. Saves a lot of time. [/QUOTE]
