    Small Tumbler

    Any one know of a good small tumbler? I have a big one for large amounts of brass processing but have been keeping an eye out for a small cheap one that could handle say 100-150 pieces of brass.

    Want it to clean brass for when I am doing load development and really only have a hand full from experiments that need to be cleaned up.

    Any of the small ones from companies like Harbor Freight or Midway would work for around $50, or so.

              I have one of the Smrt Reloader tumblers and like it for doing small batches. Check either Natches Shooters Supply or Midsouth. One or both carry these little guys.

                I have a couple of these and they do a fine job for the price.

                  You could just wipe them down and call them good. I used to wipe them down, throw about 100 in a small tupperware container with some crushed corn cob media and shake weight the thing for a little bit at a time over a few hours to get them cleaned up. They came out clean, not super shiney but definately clean enough to load again.

                  I use a Tumbler now, but only because I load enough to justify the $50.00 Tumbler.

                    Almost all reviews I read on the smart tumblers were bad and talk about overheating problems...

                      I just checked that link I posted early and Midway has the Frankford tumblers on sale for $30! Get two at that price!
                      Here's the link again. That's just the tumbler.

                      If you want the whole kit with tumbler, media, separator and polish, they are on sale too for $54:
                      full kit

                      It says that that sale expires 12/12, which is tomorrow, so order soon if these interest you.
