I can still learn

Learned a valuable lesson:

Not sure how many of you tumble your brass before reloading, I clean the brass every other reloading.
Having a good day at the range, lots of empty hulls, I decided to save myself some time. I placed all the brass in the vibrating bowl, added new medium and turned it on, went out to dinner. Upon returning I found my S&W 40 cases stuck inside you .45 cases, .223 case stuck inside the .40 & .45 cases. The .223 was pretty easy to pull out of the .45, hard to pull out of the .40. Now those have to re-tumbled (only half the casing is cleaned). I was able to pull apart some of the .40-.45, some of them are stuck together tight, I will most likely lose one of the cases.
Lesson learned:
Don’t tumble pistol and rifle cases together and only one caliber of pistol at a time.

Have a Great Day

I have never done that but will take your advise. That 40 smith inside the 45 acp sounds like a real pain the the butt. I just hate the medium that gets stuck in the flash hole.

Getting the 9mms stuck inside the 40s, 32 H&R in the 9s and 357s are a pain. But I think the worst are when the 40s get stuck in the 44s. The 357s in the 41 mags are fun, too. I don't recall if I have ever tumbled any 9mms with the 41s. Maybe I'll give that a try.

I never tumble rounds that will fit into each together for this reason.

I tumble brass in corn Cob first it cleans all the crap off

Then I tumble them in my Crushed Walnut Tumbler, doing this way really makes them shine not mention keeps the crushed Walnut media cleaner the corn cob is the only that gets real dirty. I use 2 tumblers though.
