[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1351207, member: 100"] Thanks for the intel! I'm mixed on effort/ cost vs. results on this. I like clean brass and so do my dies, but $160+ for the tumbler and 2 x $15/ lb for the pins/ wire, then the time it takes to seperate and dry the brass... I've gotten to the point where I just dump my brass into my vibratory cleaner with corn or walnut media (Which ever is cheapest when I buy at the sandblaster supply place. $35/ 50 lb lasts a long time) and run it until I remember to turn it off. As long as I change out the media frequently enough and add a dab of car wax occasionally, it works pretty well. Yes, I have to deal with media in the primer pockets on deprimed brass (I deprime rifle brass first but don't bother with pistol brass) and stacking when mixing calibers (Like .41 Mag and 45ACP), but it doesn't take much time to sort it all out. To the users- Is it worth the $200 or so cost? The guy from H&H seemed motivated to sell the setup, downplaying the mess and cost. In edit- Shadowrider- Look up a sandblaster supply house or industrial supply and look at different sizes of media. It comes in fine- coarse. Go bigger or smaller to reduce sticking grains in the primer pockets. [/QUOTE]
