Using walnut shell media, wondering how clean do the inside of the cases need to be. Seems some of the carbon residue doesn't want to clean up.

Yup, that's generally as good as it's going to get with dry tumbling. From a functional perspective, it's absolutely fine.
If you want the shiny clean insides in all your brass, you'll need to wet tumble. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Once I went to wet tumbleing with the stainless steel pins I quit dry tumbleing. Even old tarnished cases come out nice & clean.
This is the garbage that comes off the cases. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

I think I'm stuck with dry for now, I can deal with them not being perfect, I just wanted to make sure the carbon stains didn't effect anything.
This gets expensive fast haha Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

This gets expensive fast haha Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk I’ve been dry tumbling since I started years ago & all my loads have gone BANG. Never had a problem with it except with perfectly good cases that were tarnished or stained, I hate to recycle them. Wet is the best way to go with these cases. I manually clean the primer pockets on rifle cases but not on the pistol. Yeah, it does get expensive but depends on how far down you want to go into the rabbit hole...  _________________ "You are either with us...as Americans. Or, You are against us.

I am so far down the rabbit hole I haven't seen day light for years.
Just picked up a Dillion 650 from Mudflat Mike and am in the proccess of picking up a Hornady Progressive set up. Once I get the Hornady Progressive I can get them both set up and compare the one to the other side by side. All the tool heads, dies and other accessories will be expensiven but money wel spent once it gets in to operation. |

With all the ammo that you and Mason expend, I would’ve expected you to get the Dillon 1050 or the new 1100 with the auto drive option... Give us a good review on them once you get them up and running. _________________ "You are either with us...as Americans. Or, You are against us. There is no IN BETWEEN." ???

I get a lot of time on the single stage presses.
When the weather gets bad I will get the progressives going. |
