New tumbler

[Kurt]

Jim.

I like the tumbler. So far I have only used the sst pins and the sample cleaner sent with the tumbler and I was impressed the way they came out. The first batch I pre rinsed before running them and they looked good. I ordered a couple bottles of the cleaner on sale at Amazon.
I was at Farm & Fleet the other day getting some Tung Oil and I saw a bottle of Jungle Jack cleaner on the shelf I had to chuckle when I saw it and I took it home to try instead of Dawn I been using for cleaner. I put 100 .44-100 cases in the Arsenal barrel with the pins and still had a lot of room so I got out a second 100 cases that where dark from not getting then to a shine and I used a 1/4 cup of this Jungle Jack and maybe a tee spoon of Lemishine and ran it for a 1/2 hour, I like that timer, and when I dumped into a 50 mesh screen the water was black and very little soap foam but the cases shined and the primer pockets where cleaner then I get using a mix of ceramics and pins in the Esteem tumbler.
When I was going to dump the water that I cleaned the cases with it looked clear. All the black stuff settled to the bottom of the bucket so I slowly poured it back in the barrel till a black streak started and ran 50 dirty soaked cases I just shot with out adding more water and they came out shiny. Good tumbler and pins for $120.
