[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2548949, member: 313"] Cleaning in a SS pin tumbler for long periods of time can cause issues. You will get super clean brass but that's well beyond what's needed. I found that tumbling for more than about 45min will remove all the carbon from inside of the necks which many reloaders feel is undesirable. It can also cause the case moths to get dinged up a bit. I've talked to reloaders who tumble for 2 hrs and that definitely causes deformation of the case mouth but it can generally be corrected by using a chamfer & deburring tool. Using a SS pin tumbler, conservatively, has never caused any issues that I could detect. I might add that I only clean cases occasionally. I see no reason to clean a case that has just been fired and only needs a quick wipe of the case neck exterior. 0000 steel wool works great for that. [/QUOTE]
