Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials
OK, got my camera working.
First, the pictures of the 24 hr tumble:
The cases with half brass and half silver were the ones inside of another case of a larger caliber.
and another:
And to compare the 8 hr tumble vs the 24 hr tumble:
But here's the kicker-- I thought I would try just Dawn dishwashing liquid (as I've used in all the tumbles) and Lemishine. NO SS MEDIA! Here's the results:
And a closer look:
Not to be a naysayer, but I have to admit, the ss media appears to have little effect on the outcome of the brass.
Notes:
-- The brass with the Lemishine-only was range pickup, once-fired brass, just like all the loads prior. It was not corroded, but was in a moderate, typical yucky state. I say this because I know someone will comment that the last load was just dusty. Nope.
-- The insides of the brass were just as clean as when the ss media was used.
-- I found no difference between the ss media loads and the lemishine-only loads.
-- I used Lemishine on all the loads, including the ones with the ss media.
That's it! I'm going to try several different types of loads with Lemishine only (e..g., .45, 9mm, .308, etc.). I'm going to predict I will only use my ss media for those loads with particularly egregious junk. It is certainly easier to just rinse the Lemishine off than to shake all of the ss media out of the cases.
Questions?
