Franklin arsenal, with half corn cob and half walmart walnut shells, with a dryer sheet and nu-finish, the trick is to NOT over load it, otherwise expect it to burn up.
I clean twice, but I'm just an anal pistol reloader.
I run the dirty brass for an hour before depriming/resizing in walnut and Flitz. It is actually 90% clean at this point.
After resizing I clean the primer pockets and run it through the tumbler again for about another hour to get the lube off and the last 10% cleaning done. When this is done I inspect the brass and make sure there isn't any walnut stuck in the primer pocket.
I like the Lyman because it has a cover that allows you to separate the media from the brass pretty easily.
My Franklin Arsenal crapped out in short order. Now happily using one from Harbor Freight that cost less, and seems more robust. Mostly used crushed walnut shells thus far.
