I like polls, it gives me a picture of what other people do and what I can do without driving myself crazy. So vote for all that you currently use!

[Mal H]

I use a vibrating cleaner. That's not the same as a tumbler even though the two words seem to be used interchangeably these days. Do you want to add it to the poll?

[Pheonix]

What Mal H said.

[bogie]

For rifle brass, I use a little 0000 steel wool. I occasionally tumble .223 or pistol brass.

[WhoKnowsWho]

Nah, we'll leave it at tumbler. Most sites seem to say Tumbler/Vibratory Cleaner now anyways. I knew they were different, but everyone seems to say it both ways. At least it isn't as bad as Clip/Magazine... still trying to beat that out of some people... :D

[cobb]

Vibrator with walnut media.

[sm]

I voted Tumbler.
Actually, I cheat.

I give to gunsmith,all my spent brass in various calibers. I buy lunch, help instruct students and chip in with components.

I pick up what I need, when I need and shoot. Repeat.

Being an old fart going back to school has some advantages...

[coonan357]

have a small viratory tumbler on the bench for when I do my loading , but have a plastic cement mixer for the range brass that I sell

[ms1200]

tumbler

[RugerSAFan]

RCBS Vibratory tumbler w/ bounce.

[trapshooter]

Ditto Mal H. It's the best way to do any amount of brass. Everything else is either too slow, or hacks off the bride.

[cheygriz]

I use a tumbler, but it's a rotary tumbler and I wash the brass with liquid Tide and warm water,

R.C.B.S. Vibratory Tumbler with corn cob media, + a small
amount of liquid car polish that doesn't contain ammonia.
Works pretty well; with NO elbow grease required!

Hey Guys:

I have a Lyman Vibrating tumbler. I to use corn cob media.Had some real luck a few years ago. A freind of mine who owns a painting and sandblast company did a turbine rotor and he had three 50 lb.bags left over . Said he had no use for them and wanted to know if I did. Need I tell you what I said when he told to take them.I like to use Dillan case cleaner. It seems to speed things up and remove stuborn stains.

I always polish my brass because I find it makes it a hell of a lot easier and better to inspect your brass for cracks.

Grijim.:cool:

I use a tumbler, in fact I have two. One for corn cob and one for walnut. Depending on how dirty the brass is it goes in one or the other along with some Dillon polish.
Two tumblers may be overkill, but the price was right on the second one so I went for it.

[WhoKnowsWho]

All these votes for a vibratory/tumbler cleaner are making my reconsider trying to save some bucks and using cider vinegar or something else... guess I will shell out the $50 or so for one from Cabela's or Midway.

[mparris71]

I have used one of the Cabela's vibratory/tumbler for a year now and it has been excellent so far.

[Charles Cotton]

I use a vibratory tumbler with walnut and Rooster Bright from Rooster Labs.

[1badmagnum]

I tumble with corn cob bedding in bulk from pet stores about 40 cents per pound and use maquires high tech auto polish for good looks.
