[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2569952, member: 313"] That's interesting; when did we meet, because I don't know you. LMAO I gave away all of my corncob and walnut media with the vibratory machine once I switched over to the STM tumbler and SS pins. The only issue that I'm aware of is that when you tumble too long you can get case mouth peening. I was originally tumbling for 2 hrs in the STM which uses a high speed tumbler. Eventually, I went to shorter and shorter tumbling time because longer times proved unnecessary and that's when the mouth peening takes place. Now I get clean brass in 30min, maybe not shinier than new but very clean. Using rice apparently works very well in vibratory systems and you don't get any peening. I was told that it works just as well in a tumbler but I just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Besides, I have no issues with the pins but it certainly is worth a try. Lastly, why would you use corncob rather than rice? At least you can eat the rice when you're done tumbling!! [/QUOTE]
