[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1313562, member: 99039"] That is a lot of work to clean brass, what works for me, is resize/decap add to a vibrating Tumbler for about 1-2hrs, depending on how dirty, with Walnut media. They come out shiny and clean, but not down to brand new brass clean. What I use to do with my .45-120 black powder cartridge was soak in 1% white vinegar solution for about 30 minutes then dry. After drying, put in tumbler for 1hr, they came out as if they were new. Seem like you could get same results using the Sonic cleaner and tumble for hour or so. As for the rotary tumbler, I had heard those with SS media are nice, but never used one, not sure how tiny the steel pins are, but I couldn't imagine it would be hard to separate, no different than cob or walnut media would be.
