How long can you vibrate polish cases?

I've heard that if you let your tumbler run for 6 months, the cases will simply disappear. I think you should see if you can disprove that claim.

Now a small story:

I use my dirtiest cases for my precision ammo that I take to the yearly fall shoot at the local rifle range. I weigh them as well as the bullets and trickle the charges to get the most out of the ammo. But they look like they were rolling around the floor of the old pickup for 20 years before I stuffed them in my pockets. I make sure that I announce that those rotten old reloads just might not shoot well at all as I nail the X ring pretty much each and every shot. All part of the fun down there each fall.

So frog, you are using "sleeper" ammo huh? Are you hustling at the range? Lol

How long

I reloaded 357 nickel for 35 years and didnt know you were supposed to clean. I got hooked on 45 acp this year and now I have to clean everything - go figure

Just goes to prove my point. Thanks.

As noted previously, if you want to get the last of those stains off that brass quickly, some fine steel wool will git 'er done.

I do understand its a personal preference to have them bright and shiny.
