14/20 Grit can be bought at Graingers or order from McMaster Carr.
The two best additives are simple
I just did this while I had lunch. These are 9mm indoor range brass cases and I tumbled in fine walnut media + NuFinish + Cabela's (Berry's) tumbler for 30 minutes (yes, exactly 30 minutes). I had done about 4 batches of brass prior to this batch and intentionally did not add any NuFinish to the media.BoKnows said:Lets see pictures of the results. Otherwise, just empty promises.
I spent the money and I'm more than happy with it, but the tedious work comes when trying to recover the pins after tumbling.
trying to recover the pins after tumbling
My Cabela's tumbler (same as Berry's 400 tumbler) has 1000 9mm case capacity but I typically tumble with less for faster cleaning/polishing (around 600-800 cases). I normally fill the bowl about 2/3 with fine walnut media and drizzle 2 capfuls of NuFinish polish and run the tumbler for 5-15 minutes or until all the clumps are gone (I will also use a paint stick to stir the media around to speed up the process).Keeperfaith said:Now How do you use the Nu-Finish in tumbling the brass? Do you just add a few drops to the media? or polish the brass afterwards?
How long do you tumble the brass and how much brass should I put in at a time?
Pro 1000 is not for everyone as it will require a reloader who has the patience/diligence to clean/lube/adjust/maintain the press regularly and stop to investigate problems instead of forcing the ram lever to cycle. If you are willing to learn the proper operations of the press and apply regular cleaning/lubing/PM schedule with each reloading session, you could end up reloading 450-650 rounds/hour. It is primarily a pistol caliber press as it will only do short rifle cartridges (.223/7.62x39). If you want to reload both pistol and rifle cartridges, I highly recommend the 4 station Lee Classic Turret press with cast iron base.PS: thinking of getting a Lee Pro 1000 reloader, any thoughts, ideas critizisms or additions I should get when purchasing it?
