Best polish for tumbling media?

[Night Stalker]

Just used some lyman media reviver, it cost £6.50 and worked really well.

1 bottle will revive a tumbler full of media 4 times.

I rip some pieces off the roll of Brasso (comes in a tin )and pop them in the tumbler after around 400 cases take them out and put in new ones, works well for me.

I'm told brasso is very bad for cases?

why!!

[dannywayoflife]

I was told it weakens them?

[s.stimson]

Brasso contains ammonia which will weaken brass.

That's it!!

That's it!!

Yea it does, unless you get it all off PDQ Dan. I used to use a turn just for cleaning necks but stopped when I started using US then STM.

STM is great because it cleans all of the case rather than just shining the outside, but whatever suits.

I am not pro bling, it just happens to be a by product (Sorry Ian....)

Well bugger me! After over forty years of using brasso on my cases I've finally found out why they split after forty or fifty reloads.

I like the idea of STM mate but the start up cost of it puts me off mate. I US clean and then tumble. Seems to do the job I'm just after getting them all shiney! I'm told jewellers rouge will work wonders! ?

Tart!

[mickwin]

As I've got loads of brass and use them a max of 5 reloads, got no problem and it cleans them very well !

Hah....

Met a shotgun colleague of yours at work the other day, top bloke, rides a motorbike/exe matelot.

He recognised you from a photo on my wall at work (back of your nut while watching a red stag pottering across stickledown).

had a pleasant hour or two with one of the TFU lads (exe Sniper with the Hampshires) talking rubbish and shooting type stuff.

Yep, to be honest I would not have done it had my US cleaner started giving me the odd belt and Dave B had one for a very reasonable price.

To be honest, the important bit is the drum, I think most people could cobble the drive unit together easily (probably better made as well).

As I said, shiny is unimportant (might even be detrimental in some cases) but it sort of happens by default.

Now I'm curious, because I can't come up with a name, sounds like someone from the Village people.

I was reading on the Accurate Forums that a few of the long range US shooters were moving away from ultrasonic cleaners as they found them detrimental to long range accuracy. There didn't seem to be any real science behind their findings other than what the targets told them. I wonder if we will see a swing away from the ultrasonic cleaners and back towards tumblers, or better still wire wool

Chris, PM me the name of the closet Village people wannabe.
