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! 

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

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.

Tried this in my Thumblers Tumbler with stainless pins on brass that I would consider throwing away because the insides were so bad. I was a little concerned about the hydrochloric acid content and considered a baking soda rinse but I like to keep things simple and I will keep an eye on them and continue to watch for any harmful effects. As Westerner said "Never have I had cases come out of the tumbler so clean and so quick."

Dang, Jose', that's amazing, but I think you ought to let somebody else shoot that rifle using the silvery cases before you do it yourself. You must have a fellow around that doesn't read this forum's postings. The innocent dupe.
I wonder why nothing like this has been seen before- I mean never. I would be leary of such a transformation myself.
