That's one thing I was thinking about, in .22 I think they're all rimfire, the rest are all centerfire.

That said, if you are going to clean it up, don't use a tumbler. It seems obvious, but working at Cabela's you'd be amazed at the questions I get.
I have several .22 tumblers and one Winchester .22 rifle with the tube feed, the most I'd get would be a stuck shell I could eject.

The rest are centerfire, plus the shotgun shells, no problem there.
