I ll Throw out a bit of my lernin i got. I am too dang cheap to buy a tumbler, So When I trim my cases with the lee Trimmer. (In my HANDY DANDY Craftsman cordless drill) After im done trimming the cartridge. I Hit it with a Piece of fine steel wool with a little water/ BARKEEPERS FRIEND mix on it while it is still in the drill. After it is done in the drill i throw it in a plastic coffee can ( FOLGERS with the grippy handle) with more Barkeepers friend/ water and Soap. AGITATE IT A LITTLE BIT BY HAND.When you done a few Dozen cases . Rinse it well several times until the water is clean. I Do 300 Winn mag 100 cases at a time like this. I shoot alot of 300 Win Mag. ( I mean alot)
