I just picked up a Rotary Tumbler and tried to tumble some 300 wsm once fired brass last night with water, stainless steel pins and Franklin brass cleaner. Tumbled for about 2-3 hours, rinsed and dried it and it came out pretty dull. Any tips of how to get it shiny?
 
My recipe is brass, SS tumbling media, hot water, squirt of Dawn, 1/2 to 1 tsp of lemishine depending on size of container. Tumble for 20 minutes for rifle brass to retain carbon in necks, 1-2 hours for pistol brass to make it look like new.
