Just making my tumbler and want to know who uses stainless steel media and where to get it.
^ what he said.
What's the volume of the tumbler though ?
thanks. the drum I'm using is made from 5ltr McGregor's pressure sprayer (garden weed spray thing) with 12v wiper motor. I'll put some photos up when I get it done
It works whatever amount you use, but you're really smashing your brass a lot unnecessarily if you use too little. Mine's about the same volume, and a third kilo has sped everything up significantly too.Quote:

Just use 1.5kg of the pins from Serious Shooters.
So far Ive only done 50 223 cases at a time which works well.
These guys have all sorts. small tumblers for 200. And 1kg of stainless pins for 67.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad but thought it might be of some interest
