as usual, the hard way.
i threw some mixed brass in the vibrator,45 colt, 45 acp, 38 spec., 30wcf.
this is what i found when i pull the brass out.
P4190599.JPG
that is a 45 colt case with a 38 case firmly stuck fast inside, packed with tumbling media.
now, is this the newest wildcat cartridge? maybe i should be expecting a new little box
of 22s in a few weeks?
ok, so now to try and separate them with out destroying either one.

Soak 'em in some water to soften the media. Needlenose pliers and such don't work. Don't ask how I know this!

Been there,
I've never had them stick like that, though. Good luck to ya. I generally don't do mixed brass in the tumbler anymore for that very reason.

I do pull them apart with needle nose pliers, but I'm guessing I'm a bit stronger than the average guy.

I'd throw them back in the wobbler without media. Should be able to vibrate them apart...
