About LinkBacksMy 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.

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

Clean brass also chambers easier;

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