Brass in wet tumbler over night?

Couldn't help but to chime in. I've done some experimenting with various methods.
I run a Rebel 17 wet tumbler. I clean approximately ten pounds ( 1000 ) 9MM cases at a time.
I use warm/hot tap water and cover the cases with water about one inch over the top. One .45 ACP case of Lemi- Shrine and about 2 to 2 1/2 oz. of Armor All Wash and Wax. No pins. Run it for 1 1/2 hours max.
They don't come out super clean like with the pins but believe me their plenty clean enough.
 
I confess I didn't read all the responses, so disregard if it has already been said...

I did that and ended up with some really cute PINK 308 FC cases.
 
Heck i just use a vibro dillon machine and fill it with stuff you buy in the plastic jug. It lasts forever. Put casings in it and turn on in the afternoon. Some time the next morning, or whenever, i get around to turning it off and the cases all look like 24kt gold and are bone dry. No polishing juice or anything else added ( just made a mess). Just dump in the rotary cage thingy and done. If i had to do 1000 at once, instead of 300 pistol or 100 rifle, I would do it in 3 batches.
