[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1153613, member: 39764"] Sure is. Graff's and Cabelas also have them and Cabelas has them on sale from time to time for $160 bucks, thats tumbler, pins (5 pounds) and a sample of cleaning solution. You also need the magnetic media picker upper ($15.00) and a media seperator (rotary) I use the one I had for the fry media (Cabelas 25 bucks on sale) optional but makes seperating the pins from the cases much easier.... I like the FA rotary because it holds about 1/3 again as much as the Thumlers Model B plus it has a built in times and no belts.... gear drive. Once you go rotary wet media, you'll never go back to dry. I think the two things I don't like about cob / walnut sheel fry tumbling is the dust and the extra cleaning of the primer pockets, you don't get that with wet/stainless. The wet method don't 'shine' the cases as pretty outside (no biggie with me) but it cleans the INSIDE as well as the outside and the pockets / flash holes. I notice a big difference when inserting pills in fired and resized cases. The pills insert (seat) just like a new case, no powder residue to drag on and no case neck lube needed. My brass don't need to be mirror shiny anyway. The wet method imparts more of a matte finish, almost like bead blasted.... [/QUOTE]
