    Case Tumbler

    My Faithful old hornady media tumbler blew it's ring today after many years of use.
    Time I got a new one anyway.
    Thinking of a stainless pin one.
    How do they go and where is a good place to buy one?

    Yeah there's a couple of choices, Reloaders have the Frankford Arsnenal brand, Serious have CED.

    Frankford Arsenal Platinum Rotary Tumbler #909567 - Accessories - Reloading - Reloaders Supplies Ltd
    $399

    CED is usually NZ$550, US$300 from CED Hong Kong
    CED Brass Tornado

    Also pick up a cheap food dehyrdator from TM, they're fab for drying cases out.

    Shifted to wet tumbling last year, wouldn't go back to rotary now ps package arrived safe thanks ....

    Does cleaning your brass increase case life or something?
    It is it for the bush cred of having shiny brass?

    I use wire wool when the case is in the drill while doing length cut and chamfer. Shines em up in 3 seconds.

    No real advantage, is just nice to work with clean cases.

    It's also good for getting rid of the lube after sizing

    Helps in a few ways:
    Makes them nice and sparkly;
    Cleans off debris/grime before being sized, thus keeping dies cleaner;
    Easier to spot flawed/damaged brass during case inspection;
    Cleans the lube off after sizing;
    Clean brass also chambers easier;
    Did i mention it makes them nice and sparkly...

    Cleans off grime before resizing- cleans off lube after resizing?
    You do it twice? Too much spare time

    Not all the time. Only if i am F.L. sizing. I tend to load my batches over a couple of nights.

    Usually @30 mins for a tray, which is @250-300 9mm cases.
