    So far with my cement mixer and wet process I've polished up 3500 .380's, 4500 9mm Lugers, and 5500 .40S&W's. Got 'em all bagged up by 500's.

    Currently working on 10 gallons of .45acp's, and have a couple gallons of .38 Specials too. Working outside on the patio, this seems to be a GREAT rainmaking procedure! It's rained every friggin' day I've done this. Makes my ass red.

    A dryer? How are you going to seal the vent holes?

    No need. Using PVC to make smaller chanbers. Then use the dryer to act ac the "wheel" to rotate the individual tubes. It's going to be a reverse engineered wet tumbler. EVERYONE is using some closable cylinder on rotating "wheels" i'm doing it reverse. Picture the HF tumbler http://www.harborfreight.com/3-lb-ro...ler-67631.html Instaed og the tubes being externally mounted, they will roll inside the rolling mechanism. Just like a cement mixer.

    so.. How long is too long, and how long is not long enough?
    That's for you to decide. I don't even tumble brass out of my bolt actions because they just don't get that dirty, but out of my suppressed AR's, if I don't tumble them I'll never have a chance in finding the dirty SOB's on the ground.
    I've never found shiny brass to shoot any better than brass that's a little dull.

    My cement mixer does really well, the brass comes out of the rinse and media separator just super shiny, clean inside and out, and I can run a 2.5 gallon bucketful in one load. But, it then tarnishes and water spots within minutes. I swear you could almost stand and watch it tarnish. I have to figure out a good way to dry them quickly in large batches, spreading them out on a blanket in the sun ain't gettin' it.

    I loaded up about 5,000-6,000 rounds of 45 GAP and 38 Medium Colt this weekend. I would have loaded more 45 GAP, but I ran out of Berrys 185 HBRN and then I ran out of 38 Medium Colt brass. Luckily Powder Valley had some 185s in stock so I ordered 5K. Graffs had 38 Long Colt in stock so I ordered another 2K.

    Time to put them through the revolvers.
