Hey All.

I am looking to get a wet tumbler and was wondering what you guys recommend , My wife has one of the 3lb rock tumblers but seems rather small for cleaning brass.

Thanks for any input.

Make your own or try bigdawg tumblers. Type it into Google. I made my own and it's the tits.

No need to go to big dawg -- why not buy one made by a fellow NJ shooter -- no shipping, local enough if any issues arise and a better product

 

Or make your own

 

search -- "grungy brass turned to bling"  right here in the reloading forum 

+1 for Heavyopp. I bought one of his tumblers and haven't looked back. Well built, easy to use, and I can do a ton of brass at a time, the best part is no lead dust in the air for my family to breath in.

I have one of Jer's (heavyopp) home built wet tumblers I dont really use that often anymore, shoot me a pm if interested. 

I have a thumler tumbler. It works great. Not as much capacity as heavy pop's style but for me it works great. I picked it up used for 100 bux.

I started with the HF 6 lb rock tumbler and have made my own since then.  The 6lb did 90% of what I needed it to.  Just the volume was a pain when I would try to load 1000+ cases of rifle ammo in that week.

I have a Jerco (heavyopp) tumbler.  Couldn't be happier.

Lortone QT - 66 (two 6 lb drums).  Means you can clean 2 different calibers. Thumler's 2 barrel is only 2 three pounders

*  Strat-O-Sheen Burnishing Concentrate (3 oz to a gallon of water)

*  3 mm plastic ceramic media

Black powder cases look like this in 1.5 to 2 hours ...

When ever I see it at gun shows its twice as much as getting it from Ebay, just order it. Its around $72 shipped for 10#.
