Hi Gang,

    Another thing beside Coke that works very well for cleaning tumbler
    shot & barrels is Draino. I've been putting tablespoon or 2 of the
    granular type in a tumbler with about 5 lb. of shot & 2-3 oz. of
    water. Let it run for 1/2 - 1 hour. Rinse the shot & tumbler in warm
    water, & you have a tumbler & shot that's cleaner than it was when
    new. If you want you can use sodium hydroxide (lye) in place of the
    Draino; that's what the active ingredient in Draino is. The nice
    part of using Draino is it can go down the drain & might even help to
    clean it out. 

Dave
