Certainly! Let's create a forum-style discussion about tumbling brass with stainless steel media. I'll start by

*johndoe123* > Hey everyone! ? I've been reloading for years, and I've always used the traditional corn cob or walnut media in my vibratory tumbler. But lately, I've been hearing a lot about stainless steel media. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth the investment? ?

*reloadmaster* > Hi Johndoe123! ? I made the switch to stainless steel media a while back, and I'm never going back. The results are incredible! Not only does it clean the outside of the brass, but it also gets into those pesky primer pockets and cleans the inside. Plus, it doesn't damage the brass like other media can. Highly recommend!

*brassguru* > Agreed, Reloadmaster! Stainless steel media is a game-changer. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the before-and-after photos on the Stainless Tumbling Media website, I was sold. The pins get into every nook and cranny, leaving the brass looking almost brand new. And the best part? No more tarnished cases!

*ammoaddict* > Hey folks! ? I've been using stainless steel media too, and it's fantastic. But let's talk logistics. How do you set it up? Do you need a special tumbler? And what about the cleaning solution? Dish soap, Lemishine, or something else?

*gunsmith101* > Great questions, Ammoaddict! ? You'll need a rotary tumbler (vibratory tumblers won't work) and a water-tight drum. The stainless steel pins come with the kit. As for the cleaning solution, I use a squeeze of Dawn Dish Soap and a pinch of Lemishine per pound of brass. Tumble for a couple of hours, and you're golden!

*reloadingnewbie* > Thanks for the info, Gunsmith101! I'm just getting started with reloading. Is stainless steel media suitable for all calibers? And how often do you replace the pins?

*experiencedhandloader* > Welcome, Reloadingnewbie! Stainless steel media works well for most calibers, from pistol to rifle brass. Just make sure to separate your brass from the pins thoroughly after tumbling. As for pin replacement, they last a long time—usually hundreds of cycles. Keep an eye out for any bent or broken pins, and replace them as needed.
