Is there a conventional polishing media that doesn't stick in the primer pockets or the flash hole?
And let me say here that no, I will NOT be converting to a wet process like stainless. Sorry, the Chief Financial Officer and Comptroller has already warned me that she will deny all expenditure requests for new infrastructure as she views the old infrastructure as under-utilized. Geeze...I'm shooting as fast as I can...
Anyway, my current corn cob medial is driving me nuts because about 80% of the casings come up with the primer pocket jammed up the wazoo with media.
I've tried walnut with rosin. This makes a huge mess because of the rosin and walnut seems to LOVE sticking in the flash hole.
What else IS there to try? This is just so [beeep] time consuming picking the media out of each flash hole and primer pocket. I just did 500 last night and this blows butski.
I'm running a Lyman 1200 vibrating tumbler if it matters. When using the auto-separate feature I let it run about 10 minutes to try to knock as much media out as possible, but that only slightly improves the situation.
Ideas?
