Stainless Steel Media

With all of this new hype with Stainless Steel Media, I decided to give it a try.  All I can say is OMG!  This stuff is great.  It does take a lot longer than the traditional tumbling with walnut or corn, but it is so much better.  For one, it cleans the inside of the brass, inside the primer pocket and gives your brass a better than new look.


IMHO is comes out better than using a Ultrasonic Cleaner and is much easier to do.


The only issue with this is the limited capacity.  With the 15# capacity of the tumbler it only leaves room for 2# of brass.  This equates to about 200 223, 100 308, 250-300 handgun brass.


Parts used:


Thumler's Tumbler Model B High Speed
Stainless Steel Media 5#
Dawn concentrate dish soap
Lemi-Shine


Once fired 223 LC brass with a few LC Nickel cases





After a 3-4 hour tumble
