Tumbling dry and wet

[Red9]

Seen some questions about tumbling. I am new to the shell cleaning. I was taught to use a bucket and dish soap.
Ok now i use a harbor freight 6 pound tumbler. I wet tumble with ss pins, a little dawn, dash of lemishine. Then deprime and clean again.
Off to the dillon 550. And when i finish i will dry tumble with corn cob so i get a nice bling.
Some of the bullets i wet tumble too.
Just wanted to share what i do. Ymmv.

Wow what the smeg, those are shiny projectiles! I have to admit, I don't tumble the projectiles. But then again, most are shiny already; they come from xtreme bullets.

Pills came from american reloaders. Mixed .40 Fmj pulled, 24.99 per 500 shipped. I didnt care if i had to clean them. Crappy thing was weighing out 1000 pills. The order was supposed to be 165/180 Cp's. Ran out and gave me 155/165/180 mixed fmj's. About 670 180's, 250 165 and 155s. Good deal for sure wish i got more.
