[QUOTE="Wado, post: 1189091, member: 42926"] I have the same set up along with dry vibratory polishers and a cheap ultrasonic tank. The Rock tumbler does the best. I use one pound of media per cylinder with a half teaspoon of Lemi Shine and a squirt of Dawn detergent. I run around seventy five or eighty deprimed .223 brass at a time per cylinder. Add the items and then cover the contents with water, about half full. I believe the recommended max weight is three pounds. The lids need to be lubricated to assemble easier, don't want any leaks. Start the motor and then set the drums on and run for three hours. If you think less will do it by all means try it I just do three hours to be sure. A very useful gadget to have is a salad spinner, after separating the brass and rinsing throw them in there and spin the water out, just don't let the lid come off. I lay the brass on some dish drying mats I bought from Dollar Tree and suspend a heat lamp over them and in about fifteen minutes they are dry, you might roll them around a couple of times and a small fan helps. One of my reloading friends uses a dehydrator to dry his. Don't over do the Lemi Shine or they will be dull and once dry handle with gloves or they will tarnish. I still use the corn cob to clean up after trimming and de-burring. [/QUOTE]
