And the reason for the big font is was messing around with the fonts etc.

Hi I have a frankford-arsenal tumbler here. It's OK and I use it with shell-chippings (walnut I believe)
but for the really tricky to get to parts and for things that the tumbler doesn't remove I use a small
and rather old ultrasomic tank. I've not tried citric-acid / vinegar before I will try that...
I find that for really grubby cases it 's best for me to put the tumbler on overnight on cheap-rate
electricity.
I use a commercial solvent in the ultrasonic tank so that goes outside then it's on as it gets hot
and smelly. But cartridges do dry-out by themselves when they come out of it so no wet residue.

All tumbling methods are a bit of a faff and all do the job
Dry media lyman tumblers have to sieve media out
Wet media stainless pin have to sieve and dry cases
Wet media ultrasonic have to dry cases & can be really noisy.
I've used all three and the stainless pin gives me the best results but I have kept the others as backs ups and for small runs
The choice is yours 😀

I had a flat top radiator I used to store them on for a day or so in the winter.
Or in the oven really low with the door open.
Or waft the wife's hairdryer over them (Not tried this as don't have a wife or a hairdryer and worry its not consistent)
Or in the dehydrator
