Wet vs. Dry Tumbler

[Half Dog]

Like many others I use both. I usually wait until I have many to reload before I run a batch.
I’ll dry tumble dirty brass. That will help keep my sizing dies clean plus I’ve had stuck primers if I wet tumble first and let the brass sit, for quite a while.
I’ll wet tumble after sizing and the brass looks great.

I've got a Lyman 1200 that I put away because I started wet cleaning. I use a HF dual tumbler that holds around 30 308 or 30/06 sized brass or a bunch of pistol brass. I use Lemon juice from Dollar tree (about a 1/8 cup) and a squirt of Dawn. It runs for 3 hours usually, then into a (again) Dollar tree wire basket inside a large dish pan. That drains the water and separates a lot of the pins. Then I vigorously shake to remove the water and pins (Oh, I do deprime rifle and bigger pistol before hand, But, that's just me as I like sparkling clean primer pockets. It does help getting the water out though.) I put them on a old towel in front of a box fan. It doesn't take a lot of time and I like my brass sparkling and this does it for me. To each his own.

Where does one find Lemishine and Nu Finish? Thanks

I don't see where you ever got an answer. If you did, I'm sorry to have missed it. You can get both at Walmart and probably any other bigger discount store.

I recently ran out of ArmorAll Wash and Wax and not wanting to make a trip to Walmart (30 miles away) I looked at the local parts store. To my surprise it was only a few cents higher than Walmarts price.

A lot of volume reloaders use a cement mixer to tumble brass. I don't, so I can't help much on that.
