Tumbling them is sure a lot easier than rubbing them clean with a cloth containing Flitz.

By "all brass," do you mean they are Barnes-type solid bullets or do you mean they are all jacketed bullets? I'd just throw 'em in the tumbler for half a day with some Flitz.

bill r, I assume you mean copper jacketed--so if thats the case, I agree with SST, I'd throw them in the tumbler, and that should do it.

When I'm trying to clean a few at a time, 50 or so, I just use a towel soaked with the orange flavored glass cleaner from Kroger, it works great.

This is easy. Just throw them in some warm vinager for a few minutes and the tarnish will be dissolved away. Be careful if there is any exposed lead on them as lead ions will be dissolved in the acidic solution and can be toxic.
