[QUOTE="c-ne-elk, post: 630480, member: 33799"] I have been using the stainless media system for a little over a year now, here is what I have found. POSITIVES: MUCH better job of cleaning the brass than a vibrating tumbler, hands down, no comparison. I no longer have little pieces of corn cob to clean up when they fall out onto my workbench. No corncob media stuck in primer pockets. 1 small bottle of Dawn and 1 bottle of Lemon Shine will probably last me 10 years or longer. When you take the brass out of the water if you rub in all on a towel (in one batch) and get most of the surface water off your brass will not be water stained. NEGATIVES: Thumblers tumbler is maybe, a little louder than my old 20 year old RCBS vibatory tumbler but if it is it's not much and since I clean brass in the garage, I don't care. So I guess this should not be a negative, maybe a neutral. The only real drawback is that you can't reload the brass right after you take it out of the water as the inside of the case will be wet. I let mine dry overnight before loading. All in all, the stainless media is the way to go! [/QUOTE]
