Same issues with the original post, so went to SS media and Tumblers Tumbler. Couldn?t be happier with results and ease of use.
Six hours in a tumbler is WAY too long!
1.5 to 2 hrs is more than sufficient.
I too used to run my Maynard brass too long as well in my tumbler. Cases were curling (EVER so slightly) at the mouth. Couldn?t see, but if you dragged a finger nail from the case?s base to mouth, it would catch right at the cases mouth. Made for difficult loading.
Remedy = using a fine file, ever so lightly go over the outside of each empty cases? mouth. Use the finger nail test to verify a smooth case exterior, esp around the mouth.
Likewise chamfering the inside of the mouth is key, especially when prepping brand new brass prior to their first time being loaded.
Hope this helps!
