How long do you tumble your brass? Let's assume corncob media that's been used a few times.

I have a rifle reloader friend that uses a liquid first and then a tumbler for 10hrs, because he wants it like new inside and out.
As long as it's clean to go thru the dies the rest is how pretty you want to make it.

Usually from 7:30AM to 5PM. Turn on the tumbler, go to work, come home to spanky clean brass!
Same here-[:D]
I use stainless steel tumbling media with Dawn detergent in a Thumbler's Tumbler with a little Lemi Shine because I don't have time to wait around all day to get some brass clean. 1-1/2 to 2 hours is all it usually takes and that includes really clean primer pockets. Try that with corn cobs and polishing additive. On top of that, the stainless steel pins don't need to be replaced like other organic media. The initial expense is a little higher but without having to replace the media, there is money to be saved.
Best.
