I often hear of a pre-tumble wash of water, Lemi-shine and dish soap, or citric acid, water and dish soap....

I've been experimenting with tumbling with various media in a rotary tumbler. I'm too cheap to buy $$$ stainless steel pins, so I tried stainless steel hardware; nuts screws, washers, cotter pins. With water Lemi-shine and Dawn it works great. I'm not concerned with the inside of the primer pockets being shiny so it works great for me. Also I tried some plastic pyramid media (Harbor Freight) which works but leaves a somewhat matt finish, but cleans the dirtiest, most corroded brass...
