Stainless Steel Pin Tumbling

[swampratt]

I have heard the same thing that distantfoe stated about the surface finish being a bit rougher.
I lube my rifle cases in the neck and the outside then resize them..
Before i lube i spin brush the neck insides.
After sizing i wipe all brass clean then trim.
Then another brushing of the necks with a spinning brush.

I have done this since day one..even when i used the vibratory to clean..
That few steps of brushing makes my rifle rounds seat very consistent.
I will say that brushing and even seating pressures got my rifles to shoot better than the .7"-.9" they were shooting.

so many steps in brass prep to get close to that one hole.

So I can't see the pictures in the tumbler link. Is that just me or are they not available?

If you are talking about my post, the pictures are reposted at the bottom of the thread. Somehow they disappeared and I didn't realize it until a couple of days ago.

Saw the new pictures. Nice job.

I looked at the small Harbor Frieght mixers. It just would not fit on the shelf beside my current tumbler. I bet it isn't as quiet as the Thumler.

Good news, Midway is shipping my Thumler. I already have the pins and Lemishine.

I use a magnetic finisher for shine, but an ultrasonic for clean. If you just need clean, save the steps and spend more time shooting. $1.00
