I have a big pack of 000 steel wool. Twist on the back, flip the case over twist on the front. . . . . *sigh* yeah I am gonna be buying a case tumbler someday too. The steel wool method works and works well, but talk about time intensive. . . . sheesh.

I too have been thinking about getting a case tumbler. Like GOB says - the steel wool bit gets old after a while. Has anyone had any experience with the Frankfort Arsenal stuff advertised in the Midway USA catalog? It seems to be a little cheaper than Lyman, etc. Also, what do you think of the liquid cleaners - do they work okay or should they be avoided at all costs?

Steel Wool?
Yep it do work...but ...I cleaned a few 44 Spec cases yesterday..right now I have a couple sets of dies in one tumbler... old ones badly stained by rust on the outside...one is a set of Pacific 222 dies..other a set of RCBS 270..When ya get done cleaning dies... ya gotta clean 'em in good soapy water and dry 'em well. Only bad thing about a case tumbler is the droning noise trys ta put ya to sleep

I have had both the rolling tumblers and the vibrators. The rollers you can use to polish rock ect. where you cannot the vibrators. But if your just going to polish brass the vibrators will do the job in 1/2 the of the rollers. I have had a couple of different brands and they are all basic the same thing.

My Frankford Arsenal tumbler works fine.
Walnut cleans brass quicker, so is good for the dirtier cases. But Corncob puts on a nicer shine. The liquid cases cleaners work, but if left in too long, you get funky pink brass! A simple wash in hot water, dish liquid and a dash of vinegar works well.
