Franklin Arsenal wet tumbler

[cornchuck]

I have been using an Hornady ultra sonic cleaner for quite a few years. I like to clean all of my brass for a single caliber I load all at once. I have 300 rounds of .223, .243. .308, and 100 rounds of .300 PRC. I usually clean about 50 pieces of brass at a time. Running the cleaner (4) 8 minute cycles. It takes forever cleaning a single caliber of brass. Thinking of getting the Franklin Arsenal wet tumbler with stainless steel pins. I should be able to clean more than 50 pieces at a time, right? Maybe 150 or more? What do guys think?

Don't know how big that is but I just tonight cleaned about 50 pieces of 6CM and 243 combined in a 3lb Rotary Rock Tumbler that I got from Harbor Freight. It wasn't full and I ran it for 3 hrs with some Dawn and Lemi-shine. Dont forget your steel media.

A 10 second Google search for "Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler capacity" shows the small 3.3L tumbler holds 300 223 cases, and the big 7L tumbler holds 1000 223 cases. It took me 5x longer to type this response than it took to Google it.

This is what we use. Also put an extra bag of SS Pins in. Can do several hundred .223 at a time or put a mix in .223, 260, 6mmBR. Deprime. Put water in with some Brass Cleaner or Dawn and a little Lemon Shine. Set the timer for 2 hours and then drain, rinse, dry. Will have like new brass.
If putting mixed brass in Don't put brass in that can slide into the larger cases.

I would do 100 a time easily. I'm sure you could handle 200 without a problem.
