Best so far...

Never have I had cases come out of the tumbler so clean and so quick.

The cases were loaded about 2008. Used a bunch up at the BPCRS match on Saturday. The bowl cleaner was right there and man oh man did it work. Dish soap cannot hold a candle to it. I may be a slow learner but I finally did something right.

Tumbled one hour with SS steel pins. My first thought was, HOLY CRAP, BATMAN!  Cheesy

Did you use the stuff straight or mixed with water?  If the latter, what ratio?
  

Inside every bright idea is the 50% probability of a disaster waiting to happen.

Water and the bowl cleaner. One big ole squirt of bowl cleaner. About an inch of water over the cases.

One of these days you will run out of 15+ years old loaded ammo Wes.  You had better Bruch up on how to reload again.  You may have forgotten.

Managed to scrounge up 52 rounds.

A few chicken loads, a few ram loads and I don't know what the rest were. When the bullets stuck out the furthest I figured they must be ram loads. The spotter would say that one went low. Another would go high. Managed to eke out 17 hits. 

Had the new RL Ballard for show and tell. When Ron wasn't looking I shot chickens with it. Got some funny looks but nobody said anything. Got 3 chickens. With brass that clean I should start using that rifle more. At least my ammo will look good. Never had brass come out looking like new. The insides are sparkling clean too.

My BP loads get that clean with ceramic media, Lemishine and dish soap, but they don't start out that bad.
