[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2126947, member: 25377"] I would politely ask that this thread not turn into previous threads where everyone is saying their preferred method. I've done the wet tumbling thing, did not like it, and moved on... as have others. It's a well documented process, and I was one of the first to document it... but it is documented and there are countless threads dedicated to it. This thread has a [I][U]VERY[/U][/I] specific topic, and I would like to stay on that topic. I don't think that is an unreasonable request, if I might beg your (and others) consideration and understanding. I have, and in my limited testing I found the vibratory models to work a bit better. However, it was indeed limited testing... and the outcome suited me, because its much easier dealing with the Thumlers UV-18 than it is any of my rotary tumblers. I also like to keep my rotary tumblers freed up to deal with severely soiled or tarnished brass. As it stands presently, there does not seem to be a large difference between them. Its much easier dealing with whole rice than the milled rice... so I only use the milled rice for small calibers presently. Perhaps I'll do a blind test when my other UV-18's arrive. I have a couple more on back order presently. [/QUOTE]
