    Tumbling

    Time to fess up, who has left their tumbler running and forgot about it, and how long did it run before you realized it?
    I’ll start. Put some 45 Colt in the tumbler last week. Well I left for work only to come back home last night, yes it ran for a week, and I found my tumbler still running. Oops.
    Oh well, at least the brass is nicely deburred. Not real shinny, since my crushed walnut shell basically turned to dust and changed color, real dirty black. Probably going to give them another run, much shorter this time, when I get some new media.

    3 days was my longest, shiny brass though. I wet tumble now so its easier to remember its running when you have to finish it up in just a couple of hours.

    24 hours is mine. My reloading room is under my bedroom so tough to let it go without hearing it.
