Especially on short handgun cartridges like the .45ACP and .44 Magnum cases. I have a friend who does a lot of reloading and he likes to pride himself with his handgun cases by showing them off to everybody after he tumbles them and how clean and shiny they are, both inside and outside.

I have one with in 30 miles. They should have some digital scales and a tumbler, and other stuff. I got my 30-06 brass sized to 7.65. So far it looks good. only lost 4 cases out of 37. They are around 35 years old. Some Remington, Sears and Imperial. They look better than some of my today brass. They were packed tight and dry. The only reason I kept them was because they are brass, and I don't throw good things away.shotout
