[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1189072, member: 50867"] I tumbled in the dry stuff for many years. Last year I decided to try the Sonic wet cleaning method. The set up for wet is more time consuming with measuring water and cleaner and warming up the solution but after I rinse the cases and run a cotton swab over the primer pockets they're much cleaner overall than the dry media method. Sometimes I do still use the dry media (corn cob or walnut shells - I prefer the corn cob because walnut shells leave a lot more dust) to finish the polishing. There isn't enough polishing compound in the media to migrate from case to the barrel so I don't get too excited about that stuff. Some guy I know uses steel wool to remove any hint of tarnish and then ends up with microscopic bits of steel wool in the ejector groove. Bujt he's happy because there's no polish residue on the case ... go figure. And no, tumbling in stainless media is not going to work harden your brass. [/QUOTE]
