    Tumbler arrived on Monday, and I am very pleased with the results thus far.

    Two batches done so far, about 300 cases in all.

    I dont own one but borrowed one and some sea clean from a mate to do a few hundred 222 and 25-06 cases. It worked great but I think the sea clean is a waste of money, 2 tea spoons of citric acid crystals and a squirt of washing up liquid and they came out looking better than when new.

    JDReloading supplied anhydrous Citric Acid crystals and 'Wairose Essential' washing detergent. a pinch (about 1/4 teaspoon) of citric and a tablespoonful of washing liquid seems to do the job nicely for my purposes. I read a warning that too much citric can damage the cases, but I don't recall the source off hand - perhaps someone out there in the know could clarify it?
