Tumbler Recommendation

What's the name of the Midway product? I order from them all the time.

Frankford Arsenal Brass Case Polish

I use the Lyman. Most of my reloading equipment is RCBS but the Lyman tumbler is cheaper and works just fine.

Great!! I ordered some last night. Glad I bought the right stuff!

I use the Nu-Finish car polish (no ammonia) and walnut media (reptile bedding from pet store) throw a couple of old drier sheets in there to collect dust and let her run.

I have this one, and have probably 100 hours of tumbling on it. No complaints. Of course I wish it was a little bit bigger, but didn't want to go overboard right off of the bat.

Also using Flitz with my brass. Shines them up good.

Never thought of 'no ammonia'. Having read both this thread and the wet tumbling thread, I'm going to ask a dumb question...

Why would one wet tumble vs. dry? The whole point is to clean your brass right?

I have two Auto Flo Lyman dry tumblers. They do a great job.

But once I went to wet tumble it changed my mind about what is the best method. Wet tumble is by far the best method to clean. The down side is that I now need to spray a little case lube even on the pistol cases to get them to run smooth. The dry tumble with nu finish leaves the cases not as clean but leaves them with a coat of polish. This lets them feed through the Dillon smoothly.

Wet tumble, dry them and then spray a light coat of lube and load em up.

Wet tumbling is the way to go. Brass literally looks brand new.
