    case tumbleing how long is to long??

    Put some 260 brass in the standad corn media about 3pm and to cut a long story short i forgot it was in there till just now 12:30am so has been in there 9 1/2 hours looks fine very clean (lol) but fine to the eye anyway

    I rekon it would need to be in there longer than that to do any damage... what do you guys think?? cheers

    I use my tumbler to coat my projectiles with HBN I have left it running over night heaps of times. Brass thats in with it still loads and shoots the same.

    I've left mine on for a couple of days before. Didn't seem to bother it
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
