i just leave them till to go for a few hrs say 4hrs feller if they are still dirty walk away, i use a ultrasonic as well but i tend to use the corn and t'cut mix to polish them up. and the ultra to remove any unwanted dust and bits inside the case's . i spin my case's up and brush the inside neck after both types of cleaning just cos i like shiny things
 
just cos i like shiny things
:rofl: I have to admit I do like them shiney too! quite often I will remove a round from my magazine if it's been in there too long and looks all dull and change it for a new shiney one and shoot the dull one at a target...:oops:

I got a friend that does target shooting that accidentally forgot and left some .308 cases tumbling in his summer house for 3 weeks!!:eek:
Other than having to wear sunglasses when reloading them, there seemed to be no other adverse effects!:lol:

I had a ledge break away from under my motorcycle in the back country. I tumbled about 75 feet down hill. Took about 5 seconds, mebbe? That's all the tumbling I ever do. The fetish for shiney cases? Never. Clean cases? Always. ~Muir

:D Harley's suck! Owned on decades ago and hated it.

I ride a Trail Breaker.

Being 2 wheel drive, this bike must be driven, not ridden, so I suspect most pasty, under-fed, frail Brits wouldn't be able to travel far in the mountains without a lengthy rest. ;)~Muir

Crikey, I have re-loaded thousands of centre-fire rifle cartridges over a 52 year period and NEVER tumbled even one case .
Hundreds of deer shot shot and thousands of vermin species, plus competitions won.
Where oh where have I gone wrong ?

Yeah, we have them here too...or a variant, and I suspect the Brits may struggle with them....if I was a Brit I'd avoid them...;)

It's a variant all right, and but not a very good one! What are those things called?? looked them up once. These Rokon bikes have been in constant production for 50 years now and are very nimble @ 185 pounds. I take mine on day rides as long as 55 miles through the Wyoming mountains following goat paths and such at 8 to 10K elevation. A gps, a compass, and a map; who needs roads? I love the thing.

Point taken about being a Brit. My apologies. :D ~Muir

You might want to see a doctor about that.
 
Add glug of Braso and leave to mature in a covered area for two days. Preferably when plugged into a roof outlet socket 23 Floors above your Office as its cheaper that way.:D

Reloading prep is for either the commute or a paid lunch break.;)

I can't remember what they were called but there used to be one mounted on top of a sign at the side of a road somewhere up north of scotland....cant remember what it was called though!

If only the UK didn't suffer from everthing rusting and corroding away...1950's vehicles are a daily sight in the states but you take that same machinary to the UK and it disintegrates within a decade! you want to prove the Rokon?.... give it to a highland keeper for a few years through the wet and rainy winters!

No need to appologise - I'm a Heinz 57....;)


On the tumbler - I have found it a revelation to walk away and leave it working away! i don't suppose it makes an ounce of difference in the accuracy but i guess it makes the cases easier to inspect so the safety aspect is worth the £60 spend i guess!
