Chief Rick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caladisi kid Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 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. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
