[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 601299, member: 6641"] I would suggest a rotary tumbler with the stainless steel pins(firing pins) and no water. It would be rest to run it on a timer and be long gone! I honestly thought about it at one time. I think the best case scenerio would be that you probably do things to the powder that would dramatically change the way it performs. The burn rate of powder is partially determined by the coatings on the granuals. If you happened to break a significant number of the pellets there would be much more surface area as a whole and all the "new" surfaces would not have the coatings to slow thier ignition rates. It seemed like a better idea to get a rag and a little rubbing compound and shine the cases back up. I hate the fact the loaded stuff tarnishes up..... guess we need to shoot them faster! [/QUOTE]
