[QUOTE="Blacktailer, post: 2251621, member: 111306"] Here is my list of pros and cons since my vibratory (RCBS) died on me a year ago after about 25 years and I got a drum type with SS media to replace it. The vibratory was easier for small batches but takes longer. It was also easier since once they were clean all you had to do was separate the media. With the drum tumbler, you have to worry about a stray SS pin hiding in one of the cases and the drying can be a pain although if you just towel dry and let the cleaned cases sit for a day, they should be ready to load. Since most of my loading is small batch (50-100) and a lot of my tumbling usage is just removing lube when I have to FL size, I miss my vibratory and will probably get another one of these days. I wouldn't want to listen to either one sitting in a motorhome so maybe the speed of the drum type makes since for you since IME it is faster. [/QUOTE]
