[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 905275, member: 12282"] I have a Lyman vibratory tumbler -- works OK, but the media craps out pretty fast and start creating all manner of dust . The cases seem dirty and need a blast of compressed air at the end of the cleaning. And I am not really sold on the inside of the cases being clean -- so it does not get my vote. On a whim recently I pulled out my old Thumbler's tumbler that I bought in 1983. This has a more coarse media that is laden with true jewlers rouge polish. For those of you that are not aware, the Thumbler is basically a rock tumbler. That all we had in the 80's. Wow -- the cases really shine. Unfortunately, before anyone wants to try this approach -- the cases always filled up with media so it never cleaned the insides. And usually a piece of media sticks in about 20% of the flash holes. Paperclip fixes that, but tedious if working with large volumes of cases. I'd like to try the stainless media in my tumbler, but I am afraid the 30 plus year old drum is no longer water tight....
