Wet tumbling C45S and 44 WCF

[Chief Rick]

I don't use pins. 

 

Would a small mesh bag work to keep the brass separated or am I going to have to tumble in separate batches?

Oops!  The same thing happens when you put 38 spl. and 45 colt together. Must tumble apart so smaller cases do not go into larger cases. A mesh bag would keep the cases separate.

I've not tried a small mesh bag, so  I don't know that it would actually clean the cases.
I usually deprime & separate after the shoot, and clean each batch separately.

I wet tumble Cowboy .45 Special and 44-40 and always tumble them separately. If you don’t then a few of them will mate together and trap water inside.

as I separate them I give them a once over to catch any split cases, too.

Always separate by caliber

Really interesting when you decap 40 S&W and find a 9mm stuck in the bottom       GW
