So I have been shooting Maynard?s for over 20 years.
started out with 2nd models.. and eventually progressed to 1st models. I have always shot brass cartridges. And have always tumbled my brass in a Dillion vibratory tumbler. Always hated having to clean out the insides with a brush after tumbling to get the corn cob grit and dirt, dust out. Also hated how the flash holes would plug up. Even more frustrating was how dirt and crud would accumulate in corner of case where neck
meets head....
always had to scrape and clean that area well.
so I finally bought a rolling tumbler very similar to the ?Thumler?s Tumbler?.
I used the little stainless steel pins with a little wa warm water and some cleaning powder.
let them tumble for about 6 hours.
took out cases. They were clean and ready to dry , then load.
Here is my dilemma, seems all the cases I tumbled in the rolling tumbler have ever so slightly rolled the crown of case in just a 1000th or so so the bullet will not slide in case as it once did so smoothly.?
all the cases I tumbled in the vibratory tumbler did not have this problem.
Is the rolling motion and the cases getting beaten against one another rolling in my edges?
I really don?t want to go back to the vibratory tumbler because it causes so much extra work to prep a case...
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Brian
