What is a tubler?
My Frankford Arsenal has performed perfectly. 1 ml of citranox in hot water and brass looks brand new inside and out.

Rebel 17, I am not so sure I even like wet tumbling for semi clean brass. For sure very dirty range brass. The wet pin process leaves my brass very clean but no polish and it starts to tarnish very quick. Walnur shell media with nufinish car polish eaves my brass shiny but it has a finish that is like a sealer that keeps the brass from turning dark.

I wouldn't recommend any but I did make one because I couldn't get one big enough.



It does a lot of brass

Armor All Wash and Wax car wash soap and a pinch of Lemi Shine, both available at Walmart, and hot water for 75 minutes and a single 1 minute rinse will give you dazzling brass with a tiny bit of wax to keep them from tarnishing.

Rebel 17. And exactly the same method as Pilediver described. But I do not use pins.
Comes out plenty clean enough.

Does this wax based polish affect the load because it is inside the case or am I over thinking this

Not at all, but the neck is so clean you then have to deal with the neck to bullet stiction

NONE. NOR do I recommend wet tumbling, with or without stainless pins. Just very few times when doing this will EVER result in higher accuracy rounds.

I use a Lyman Tumbler with pins and it has worked very good for me, the last five, or so years. After tumbling, I drain everything into a “sifter” like pan. (It comes with the Lyman tumbler.) Most of the pins will come out there. Then the cases go into a large Frankfort Arsenal tumbler thing with handles on either side. This rotates and tumbles the cases every which way. This contraption will “generally” remove all remaining pins from the cases. However, I then look inside every case with a Borescope to be certain that there are no pins left inside the brass. I have found a pin or two over the years remaining in the cases. Before the Borescope, I used an illuminated magnifier to check the cases.
