    Dunno how I survived without stainless steel tumbling. It is seriously the only way to clean brass properly. Don't have to clean primer pockets. Inside is as clean as the outside. Easier to see imperfections as well.
    Done over 500 FNB .223 cases that has sat about for years amongst my pile of get round to it crap. It looks better than the day it was made. Amazing how many flash holes are not central in Mil spec brass. Didn't use that lemishine stuff either. Just citric acid and Palmolive.

    Well done R93. I have about 1000 5.56 looking at me to do. I am going to make some into 300AAC. Lemishine is Citric Acid.

    Ha! Spose that's why they got so clean then😆

    Didn't know that. Thought it was just some fancy dishwasher powder😆

    I just got given another thousand or so mil cases tonight. Will need a bit of work to prep them, but they were free.
