My new cleaning and annealing set-up!
I am just pleased as punch with my new Stainless Tumbling Media brass cleaning and Ballistic Edge Model 400 annealing set-up. I just finished cleaning and annealing a bunch of 308, 30-06, and 303 British brass. Check out the results:
Dirty 25-06 on the left, cleaned and annealed 308 on the right:

The nicest benefit of the STM brass cleaning method is CLEAN PRIMER POCKETS!:

This is of particular interest to us 303 British guys, as our rear locking lug actions are particularly hard on brass (even though I neck size with my Lee Collet die). I love the fact that the annealed cases will all have the same neck tension now, and that contributes to greater accuracy (Colonel Townsend Whelen would love this machine :grin:)
If anyone is interested in having their brass cleaned and/or annealed, shoot me a PM for details.
Thrilled,
Kevin
