Stainless Steel Tumbling Media by guntap is the premier tumbling media to clean, deburr, and burnish all types of metal parts, especially brass cartridges used by handloaders. The pins can be used to clean brass cases with any primer pocket or flash hole size without fear of having jammed pins.
You will receive 1 pound of Stainless Tumbling Pins and 1 sample packet of guntap's proprietary all-in-one Brass Shine detergent."br""br" Designed to be used in a rotary or magneic tumbler, brass cartridges come out significantly cleaner and brigher than any other cleaning method currently on the market. Vibratory tumblers are generally not recommended unless they are industrial grade and water-tight."br""br" The key feature is the unique dimension of the pin media - 0.047â diameter by 0.255â length (tolerance lt; ±5%). guntap only offers this size pin since it does not get jammed in primer pockets or flash holes, making the clean-up process quick and easy."br""br" Although the pins are compatible with almost all common brass cartridges, certain cartridges that use a 25 caliber or 6.5mm diameter projectile can have some pins stuck sideways inside the neck. Keeping cartridges unsized when cleaning will help mitigate this issue. Stuck pins don't always occur, but good handloading practice dictates that all cartridges should be inspected prior to loading.
Although each tumbling batch is unique, the below 4-step system provides general directions for getting started when using guntap Stainless Steel Tumbling Media and Brass Shine Detergent in a rotary tumbler with a 1 gallon capacity.
If you have a 1 quart tumbler, you can reduce the amount of detergent to one teaspoon. For larger tumblers (e.g. cement mixers, PVC pipe, etc..), one to two tablespoons per gallon of water is recommended.
As you perform more cleanings with the pins, you'll be able to fine tune the variables to reach the optimal result in the least amount of time."br""br" *Do not exceed the tumblerâs maximum weight capacity otherwise premature motor failure may occur.

Step 1Place the stainless steel pins in the tumbling drum, along with your brass cartridges (or other metal parts), one tablespoon of Brass Shine, and enough water to fill the drum halfway |
Step 2Turn on the tumbler and let run for at least 45 minutes for relatively clean cartridges/parts, or up to 2 hours for heavily soiled cartridges/parts |
Step 3Turn off the tumbler and check to see if additional cleaning time is needed (replacing the water with more detergent may be necessary if the water appears very dirty) |
Step 4Once clean, thoroughly rinse the cartridges/parts, dry, and store in a sealed container, preferably with a desiccant to prevent oxidation or corrosion |
