[QUOTE="pjmdy, post: 1983800, member: 46237"] For years I used a dry tumbler but was never satisfied. Then I moved on to a wet tumbler and didn't really get satisfaction there either. Finally I bought into the Franklin tumbler system with stainless steel pins and have been way more satisfied with the results. It takes me on average about 4 hours per load. I like to let the brass tumble for about an hour and a half. Then you have to go through the process of draining the brass and pins using a separator device, finally using a dryer at about 160 degrees for 2 hours just to make sure it is thoroughly dry. The only little issue I have seen is in some calibers the pins may trap crosswise inside the neck of a couple cases, no big deal. I am only keeping my old dry tumbler and wet tumbler in case I get in a jam someday with the Franklin unit. It is expensive to be sure, but well worth the results. The brass comes out looking like gold!! [/QUOTE]
