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.Quote:

Helps in a few ways:Quote:

Easier to spot flawed/damaged brass during case inspection;

Clean brass also chambers easier;
Did i mention it makes them nice and sparkly... :D

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.
@Kscott how long do they take in a dehydrator to dry out?
Usually @30 mins for a tray, which is @250-300 9mm cases.
