Tumbler info

I have 3 tumblers 2 with walnut and a tad of thinner, 1 with corncob and a tad of car polish for that bling!. Shinney'er I want the primer pockets inside the case shinny,shinny, shinny so I'm thinking of one of them harbor fright rock tumblers with the ss media,
Anybody try one?

Haven't yet. I've got 2 of the H/F roller tumblers but the high cost of the S/S pins has kept me from trying it. It has so far seemed ridiculous that S/S pins are as high as they are, even a nail is harder to make and cheaper, and its not because it's S/S either or we could never afford pots and pans. Sure I can afford it but its the principal of the thing.

The price of the media is high I agree. However the cost is a one time investment and you would be wise to do it if you want the shine. The media is not expensive if you buy it by the pallet. The cost is high to us reloaders due to the miniscule amounts/shipping methods we require. there was a thread on here that gave a decent price (pelletsllc.com) so I called them last Thurs and ordered some. Not good at linking and such but use advanced search here in hand loading for "Stainless Steel media". That is how I found them. The rotary tumbler is the major cost IMHO so just get the media for $25 and don't stress it.

I am a mixture of Scotch, French, Jewish, and Irish. Can anyone be cheaper than ME???

WOW! You say $25.00 bucks, now thats very reasonable, I was told by my shooting buddies $50.00 min.

This is mine that I built. Kinda crude but it gets the job done. Coffee cans and a 1/4 HP motor.

I'm considering one of these:

About the cost of a Thumbler Tumbler. I have tons of brass for everything I shoot so I'd only have to tumble brass a couple times a year.

No more week long sessions 250 rounds at a time.
