Darren,
"metal wash" ... what exactly is this?
Thanks,

No, I got a 'Have you really been out here all this time making that' response.

Anyone have a current Eastwood discount code or coupon?

Ed,
 
If I order one do you want me to order one for you also? It's $16 but it is $6 to ship it. To ship two is only $2 more. And I can deliver it to where you work so ...

Threw some .303 charging clips in the tumbler today.

Before.
   

I usually put in half of the media and then drop the parts in on top before putting a teaspoon of metal wash in.
   

The rest of the media goes in and you can see the bowl is only about half full.
   

Total media is 7lb
   

After about six hours.  As you can see there are still some rough areas, so these could have stayed in a bit longer but I needed to pull them.
   

These will get oiled now and they should come out nicely.

Darren,

It looks like you put the metal wash in dry rather than mixing it with water [per the instructions]. Do you add any water at any point in the process or is it completely dry?
