Free: Contests & Raffles.
I'm actually looking at the Frankfort kit... Does this method have any effect on brass life or is it similar to the corncob or walnut media? Yes it is quite a bit more expensive than the vibratory set up but I'm thinking the longevity of the machine and the media may be greater as well as produce a cleaner end result. My experience with the old style was the corncob media never seemed to clean the inside of the cases or primer pocket much and also tends to get stuck in the flash hole if decapped prior to tumbling.
I have been using a rotary tumbler and stainless media for years. It's the best way to clean brass IMHO.
Do any of you guys use the magnet to handle the media or is that really needed?
