Scotch_egg Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 What is the current go to tumbler? I’m looking to go to the wet stainless steel pin type of tumbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Mr Oeuf, I have a Frankfort Tumbler for wet/pin cleaning, seems to work OK and has given no trouble so far. As we now no longer have an AGA also invested in a food dryer off fleaBay to make life simple re drying lots of brass. Do not use it every time, still finish off with a Lyman corn type vibratory cleaner after wet tumbling as I feel the brass is ‘too clean’ re seating - but testing inside neck lubing at present so might be a process not required (but the brass is really shiny) T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 If you have large sacks of cash lying about, get a LEM https://www.henrykrank.com/lem-plus-electromagnetic-brass-case-cleaner.html 20-30 mins is long enough to get mostly very clean shiny brass.

Xtrema Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 I have the Extreme Rebel 17. Not cheap but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoomDownUnder Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Another option is to use a wet tumbler like a Thumbler or Lortone. https://www.aussiesapphire.com.au/tumbling/reloaders/ I use a Lortone 45C and it's capable of doing a max of 100 .308 cases. Another option is to use one of the cheap ones off fleabay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoppe Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I use the lyman set up and it works very good, I just use a squirt of washing up liquid in with the water , Primer pockets cleaned very nice too. I would never go back to a dry tumbler. Cheers Shoppe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I've done 70-80 308 cases at a time, but I've never run it at max capacity.....................if I get a chance tomorrow, I'll fill it 2/3 full of 6.5x47 and count 'em. (I sold the 308............) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Here you go..............that's with 100 Lapua 6.5x47 cases. I'd say 150 is possible. Remember, this is the 5kg version......... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ess Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 What size pins work best with the tumbler and how many are needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I bought 500gms of these: https://www.1967spud.com/shop/stm-tumblers/pins/ There are quite a few advertised on fleabay, but Spuds are the best size......they do the primer pockets as well.
