I recently bought one of these platforms and at $.50 a round, decided that I would stuff my own.

I am curious how many of you all do this round as well.

I have found that these cases are lacquered and that stuff will come off and make a mess in the tumbler.

Apparently, something along the lines of Simple Green will clean them and not harm the lacquer.

I Washed mine in mineral spirits, and then tumbled them. They do not come out shiny, just clean. I do not know if that harms the finish or not.
