Ask ten different people about wet tumbling and you will get ten different responses.
I personally drain the dirty water, rinse and then refill the drum with hot tap water again and add a cap of ArmorAll Wash n Wax and tumble another fifteen minutes.
I then drain that water and dump the cases in a small bucket with warm water and grab a small handful of cases in my left hand and then take two cases in my right hand and swish them in the warm water case mouth down and then put them on my drying racks to dry.
With the primers removed I'll hit them with my airbase. It takes the excess water off of the cases and any remaining pins come off
.the water friction will hold a ss pin in in the case.
When they are completely dry if any pins remain in the case they will fall right out.
Ij7st tumbled some 308 and 223 cases together. This is the crude that the wet tumbler removed from the cases.
A dry tumbler can not and never will remove all of this crude from the cases.
I just put the cases in the tumbler again with the clean hot water and the cap full of the ArmorAll Wash n Wax. Like I said I let it go for around fifteen minutes. When I dump this water I'll post a picture of the waste water and a picture of the shiny brass.
I'll add this range brass to my personal stash of brass.
