Brass tumbler additives?

[Floridawally]

I use a HF ultrasonic and it gets the brass and pockets clean. Not clean like thumbing with steel pins, but the dirt is gone, its just not super shiny brass. I use it for small batches of rifle stuff.

That’s mostly what I reload. I’ve been thinking about trying a sonic. Small sonics are relatively inexpensive.

OK, if you want to do a comparison between, dry media and brushing primer pockets out, and wet tumbling with pins, with primers removed, you can use a hf wet tumbler i have. I'd have to look to see if I have some lemishine, not certain. But I did use it when I was doing it.

I tried it before and it worked extremely well with the pins going through and cleaning the flash holes on small primer brass.

But, come up with a way to easily and effectively dry it. And normal runs what you would do in a dry tumbler.

That way the only difference would be when the brass is de capped and the handling time
It would be a interesting comparison. Timewise.

Looks to be decent modification to the hf tumbler, but I've not done it.

I don’t want to deal with the pins. It is one thing to have walnut media in the flash hole, but I’ve read about bent and broken decapping rods with ss pins. With ultra sonic, just toss em in and pull em out.

I decap before I clean to avoid that. But yes, I sit every case upright and look with a flashlight to make sure no pins inside. It doesn't take long, even on 223.

I wonder what would happen if a pin got loaded by accident and the round was fired.
