I'm putting my money on the wet tumbler. I've got the Franklin wet tumbler and won't go back to dry. Nice video and thanks for the verification....and glad you're all healed up and healthy. My Lock n Load is still running great after receiving several of your products and watching your videos AND I've converted over to all Mighty Armory dies and they are the best. Take care Randall.
OMG Randal. We do not want loose you. You are a gift to all of us. Patience, knowledge and products yo offer us is premium. Happy to see you are feeling better
Been reloading for 35 years +, used to dry tumble with walnut hulls and Flitz metal polish. Did a fantastic job but like you said it has to vibrate for 5-6 hours. I do all wet tumbling now with RO water and either Hor. brass cleaner or Dawn + Lemishine, always de-prime first. My trick for separating the SS pins is I use a rotating separator but I got some of those mesh bags for brewing teas or making spice balls, they come in many sizes. The fluid goes thru the bag into the bucket, the pins are caught in the bag and the brass is left in the tumbling separator. Rinse the pins in the bag and rinse the brass with RO water and I use an old dehydrator to dry. Something else I like to do is tumble for 30 minutes than flip the drum end for end than tumble for 30 more minutes. The results, my brass looks brand new.
Glad to see your back and doing well Randall! Im a big fan of wet tumbling and will never go back. I built my wet tumbler almost 10 years ago and its still going strong. The only thing Ive changed is whether or not Im using pins or not. You really need a utility sink with a rare earth magnet in the drain. Makes life way easier.
Just my own 2c. Yes definitely wet tumble for range brass, especially if you do a lot of AR shooting. Personally for myself that do LR shooting and hunting I do not wet tumble at all. I have found that if I reload with brass that has been wet tumbled and shoot it 6 months or a year later I get velocity variations that is not ideal especially for LR shooting. Bullet coating does make it better regarding the variation in velocity. Dry tumble and a bullet coating no velocity change regardless of how long they stand before I shoot it. Would like to hear your thoughts on this? (I call it some kind of brass-copper lock that occurs over time)...

I use wet or ultrasonic. It just depends on what type of ammo I am making.
