I also use the HF rotary tumbler with stainless media. The results are consistently good. I tumble with the dawn and just a touch of lemishine.

The brass does tarnish quickly using this method alone. I have my ocd tenancies...

I found that after separating the media and brass, I put a decent dash of lemishine in a deep Ziploc container (the rectangle ones that are probably 4" deep.) and fill it with an inch or two of cold water. Dump the brass in, give it a shake, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then drain and shake most all the water out of the brass and lay out to air dry. The brass seems to stay brighter longer.
I also keep deprimed, cleaned and dried brass in gallon ziplock bags sorted by caliber and headstamp.


The primer pockets never get completely clean. Anyone have any Ideas?
Otherwise I'll just accept it until I can justify a thumbler.
