I am new to reloading, in fact I don't even have a press yet. I have been saving my brass for a couple of years and tried cleaning it in a tumbler I picked up at Harbor Freight.
I ran one batch of 38 special brass for about 2.5 hours using corn cob media from a pet store. It was too big and got stuck in the cases.
Then I ran another batch of 38 special brass for 2.0 hours using walnut media from a pet store. The outside is clean but still a bit tarnished. The inside is still dirty but is better than when I began. I have not deprimed them yet.
So how clean is clean enough for the inside of the brass cases?
