I got 30 pounds of tarnished range brass today
It has been sitying out side for some time to get as tarnished as it is.
I seperated it this afternoon, i took the 223/5.56 brass and tumbled it in corn cob, crushed walnut hulls, Frankford Wet Tumbler with out pins, Frankford wet tumbler with pins.
All were tumbled for exactly one hourand fifteen minutes.
The Frankford has ten more minutes with the pins to go.
After it gets done i will put it on my drying racks and post a picture of how they turned out in the different tumblers.
The dry tumbler with corn cob media and walnut hull media didn't look like they did anything.
The wet tumbler with no pins did a better job of getting some tarnish off, but not good enough for my likes.
They are all good enough to resize & reload but I like nice clean/shinny brass.
The wet tumbler just stopped will be back in a few minutes.
Pictures will be posted.
