If you use a stainless pin tumbler for cleaning brass, do not tumble .44 mag and .357 Mag / Max / .38 Special at the same time. 50 pieces of .44 mag went into the drum... 46 came out the drum with a piece of the aforementioned 3 stuck in it, stainless pins inside each one. Like a little stainless pin capsule. Nice. Took me forever to clean out each piece. I will NEVER tumble .44 mag with anything that fits inside it ever again. This public service announcement has been provided by a very frustrated old Cajun. Laughing
All the best,
Glenn

If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

don't tumble 380 with anything...... I'm sure you can guess how I know.

For that matter, .45 ACP eats everything practically

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!
