Nice project dog!
One comment on wet tumbling (which I do after nearly every firing to clean primer pockets) use plenty of media. I use about 15 lbs of ss pins in my Frankfort arsenal tumbler and plan to buy 10 lbs more. More pins = less damage to brass and better cleaning in my opinion. I think lots of the “dulling” of case mouths are a result of cases hitting each other not the pins peening the brass. More media is the way to go. I started with a harbor freight dual drum rock tumbler (which I now use for moly coating) and I never see case damage with that small volume tumbler. I think that is because the cases don't fall far and the volume/pin ratio is low.I will follow this with interest!
