So, if you leave your tumbler running for 12+ hours, you are going to get really, really shiny brass! :eek:

After returning from my birthday trip to the range yesterday, I threw in some 45 brass, hit the switch on my RCBS tumbler and totally forgot about it until this morning when I heard an odd humming noise emitting from my garage. I know immediately what was humming... :facepalm2:

Aside from the totally shiny brass, I'm happy to report that my "big green" tumbler, wasn't hot nor had any signs of stress from the prolonged tumbling session. Woo Hoo. Now to buy a timer...lol nanner

+1 gazillion for RCBS quality!

Well, Ellison, if it makes you feel any better, they are really purty!

Thanks, but I've since learned that stainless steel media is the new way to go...I'l find some pics that I saw on either the big forum or my local forum. Brass looks shinier than new!

stainless may be the new way to go.... but I'm not buying a thumler tumbler that requires a "wet tumble". I'm a pretty neat guy... but I can only imagine spilling media fluid in my small reloading area. Would drive me crazy!!!

Once you go to stainless media there is no going back. Pictures of my bling are on my tumbler thread. Clean inside and out including the flash holes.
