Same here w/free shipping https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012721373?pid=713881
Throw some reloading supplies on it to get free shipping on the same ticket, which you can't do on Amazon... Right? Last edited by the86d; 11-26-2019 at 9:48 AM.. |

LOL! Calguns never fails to make me laugh.
Here's a picture of the price history. Now is the time to buy. Waited over a year to get this. Last edited by jyc; 11-27-2019 at 8:50 AM.. |

That price history you posted though. When I saw that I placed an order. I've been worried about all the lead dust for a while and I'll probably be healthier now because of you. Thanks. |

Yeah, I use really hot water, seems to do better job. Car wash soap with wax also works real good at keeping the brass shiny. |

Same here. I wash my brass before dry tumbling. Cuts down on dust and my brass gets shinier quicker!

Get some of the larger pins. The stock ones are fine, and will do a great job, don't get me wrong, but the larger ones are much, much easier to deal with. My Lovely Wife learned to hate the relatively small pins that the tumbler came with.
You'll see a number of videos where they use Lemishine, and they use way, way, way too much of it. A little goes a long way with that stuff, and a very small amount is all you should need. Heck, if you're using soft water, you might not need it at all. There's for some reason this thought making the rounds that soap is in incredibly short supply and must be hoarded at all costs. Hint: we're washing stuff here; use soap. If at the end of the run, you'd don't still have some suds, you didn't use enough soap. Fortunately, soap is, in fact, available in practically inexhaustible quantity; if we use it all up, they'll just make more of it, so we can feel free to go for the gusto. I've had great results with a pinch of Lemishine, a decent squirt of Dawn, and a dollop of Armor-All Wash and Wax. That being said, Frankford Arsenal is now selling a bag'o'cleaning packs that look a lot like Tide Pods, and they work well. It's basically one pod per full drum, so a single bag of pods will last you a long time. Getting the pins separated can be a bit tedious. I strongly recommend the Frankford Arsenal Wet/Dry media separator; it works great, it's fast, and there's been a lot of thought put into the design. Seriously, if there's one thing you should have, it's that -- it turns the separation process into nothing; you're done in no time. Finally, you'll see involved videos of people drying the pins in complicated ways. There's no reason to do that, as they won't rust. Just get the bulk of the water off of them and pour them back into the drum to wait for next time. |

Buy some citric acid off amazon. It’s dirt cheap and will last you a long time. Put 1 9mm casing of acid in with a few squirts of blue dawn dish soap. Then fill with hot or cold water and run it. I have the same tumbler and have had great results using the above recipe. If you put too much acid or lemi shine the brass will tarnish quickly.
