[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3067245, member: 15054"] For the vibratory cleaners like you posted in your first post I would go to pet smart and get Lizard litter. It is ground walnut shell. Works great..eat a couple Cutie oranges and save the peelings. Or other orange not critical. Let the peel dry for about 8 hours on the counter.. then tear it into 1" squares add that to the media. I tried all kinds of things and like the orange peels best. For a tumbler that uses water some stainless pins will peen the cases.. Here is what you will find out. Walnut media cleans well but takes many hours and you still have dirty primer pockets and inside of cases are ok but never perfect. Then you get another type like a sonic cleaner.. still leaves some to be desired. Then you get a wet tumbler and you begin resizing cases and find out the cases are a little harder to resize than what they were with the walnut media..HHHMMM Stainless pins will peen almost can't see it but when resizing you can feel it. This is why I made copper pins. Actually I made copper pins because I had copper laying around and I am a tight wad. I eventually got stainless pins but quit using them after round 1. MoBoost mentioned the harder to resize and cases being not as smooth with stainless pins.. He cleans with stainless then into the vibratory to slick them up with dry media. I got a harbor freight vibratory and used it maybe 2 years and it did well and the dust was annoying and so I built a liquid tumbler and the vibratory collects dust in the shed. Yes I made it from a treadmill I used the rollers and the DC motor. 2 quart V8 bottle is what I clean in that goes round and round. The DC motor is 95 volt the one I have anyway.. and at 12volt it has the perfect speed. Cost me about 4 bucks to build it..Duct tape you know. [/QUOTE]
