    Lyman "Turbo charge" media reactivator.

    I added a quarter bottle of this to my tumbler yesterday and as instructions left it running to disperse and dry.

    This morning I added 100 .223 brass and left it running for a few hrs.
    When I came to remove the brass I found that the media was stuck together inside the cases and primer pockets.
    I have spent the last two hours getting all of it out.The brass has a coating which will need cleaning off.

    Moral of story is to just replace the media.

    Which media is best as I have used all of the stuff that came with Tunbler. Lyman 1200.

    Crushed Walnut shells and some Jewellers Rouge is all you will ever need.

    I was sceptical about rouge until some arrived with a tumbler I bought from a member on here, it really does make a difference, very shiny clean brass

    Half a teaspoon full at most for a fresh refill of shell.
