anybody
ever tumble primed brass? I'm in the process of breaking down some ammo from an unknown source, and the brass is tarnished. Thanks

I tumbled a live round once by accident. it didn't go off but that may not always be the case. (no pun intended) if they're just primed cases then the worst that could happen is they go off and you lose the primers.

I've actually read several posts by guys that tumble their brass again after they're fully loaded rounds.
I've never done that myself, but I'd think that cleaning primed brass in a vibratory tumbler would be much less hazardous than that. In your situation, that's what I'd probably do. The only downside to it I see would be if the tumbling media plugged the flash hole in the brass. I see it all the time in mine, but the pin that pushes the primer out gets rid of it as well. In your instance of already primed brass; that won't be happening. |
Have you given any thought as to how you're gonna re-size the brass without de-priming it? :confused:
It's actually pretty simple :D |

if that's what your stuck with doing pig get yourself a brick of Gulf wax, push the primed cases into it and go out in the backyard and shoot them with Jake. lots of fun. |

I wouldn't. I'd fire all the primers and do it all over again, the right way. The problem, to my thinking, is there is a high likelihood of polishing cob working its way into the flash hole. You won't be able to see it or get all of it out. When you fire your loaded rounds, the grit will interfere with th e primer flash, and give you unpredictable powder burn. Or failure to fire altogether.

Nope. We're talking at least 700 or probably more .45 pieces of large primer brass. I'll resize em tarnished first
