I've always used a vibratory tumbler with corn cob or walnut media to clean cases. The cases came out decently bright on the outside but the inside didn't look as bright and dislodging kernels of media from the flash hole is a bit of a pain.
Are there any advantages to using steel pins to clean cases, especially bottle neck rifle cases? I have a Thumler tumbler to use which is water tight. Some of my brass is getting old but remains sound. Also, I scavange range brass whenever possible. It's part of the 'game' of my reloading hobby. When I don't know what powder was used in scavanged brass, I prefer to start reloading with clean cases. And clean brass is easier to check for flaws.
Thanks for any opinions.
