    Very few things put a big smile on my face liked freshly processed brass fresh out of the tumbler! [emoji16]

    Only tried two batches so far. One was with the solution that come with the tumblr. Its clean enough to shoot. I also tried the NRA recipe, ehhhh, come out a bit coppery. Too much vinegar I believe. I did get some lemishine and have drawn. Hope to try it here today.

    There's no exact amount of time. It depends on how much brass, how dirty, the condition of your media etc. I tumble my brass three times.
    1. Before sizing and decapping
    2. After trim, chamfer, debur
    3. Final tumble after it's loaded
    The batch you see here was step 2, it was in the tumbler over night.
