Thread: case tumbler

Mate, just out of interest. What did you use for the agitators and how did you fix them in?

The agitators are some blocks of nylon or plastic I got from a friend. They were sealed to the pvc with silicone sealant and screwed from the outside.
Before I got the nylon I was just going to use some L shaped stainless steel and pop rivet it on.

Thanks man. Reckon the nylon is the way forward.

The stainless steel media I've found round here seems bloody expensive. Could you just use a whole lot of stainless screws or nails???

@Kudu

Give it a try and let us know how you get on.

Cheers

The media pins are a good shape and small enough to clear out primer pockets. Buy once.

Serious Shooters in Ak is the cheapest source of stainless pin media that I have found. $45 for 1.5kg. Still not as 'cheap as chips' but a better price than at most other local suppliers.

How many kg of pins for how many cartage's?

Hi, this looks like a new project for me, have old washing machine motor, small and large V pulleys, large plastic box to put it all in, right, will have a brew and get in to it, Cheers.

My Frankford Arsenal rotary tumbler is 7l, came with 2.5kg of pins to clean 1,000 223 at a time.

Thanks Kscott since I'm only cleaning 50 at a time I'll only need half a kg
