Mike6.5 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi After cleaning 50 x cases in the ultrasonic cleaner I let them dry on a heater over night and then put the shells in a media tumbler just to give them a shine. With completion of tumbling I started to empty the media from the cases but its taking me a good 5 minuets to achieve this as the media has clogged up inside the case. Does anyone know of a farter way of getting the media out of the cases?? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Could use a tom bola ball type rotary media separator but you'll still have to check each flash hole and primer pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sounds like the cases were not fully dry before putting into the tumbler, this caused the media to soak up small quantities of water and clump up. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave as Dave has said they were wet when you tumbled them, the easiest way is to resonic clean them the dry then vibrate or if you like post them to me and ill stainless clean em for you.

I would be interested in purchasing a SS tumbler of my own but the Postage from the US is outrageous. Thanks again Spud Mike Mike.... Just received my SS Media & Tumbler and used it for the first time yesterday. I agree your comment about the postage BUT the thing works like a dream AND the primer pockets come up clean (hate that chore normally!).... expensive but hopefully good value long term....AND VERY SHINY cases!
