Bummer!
I like the color scheme on my Berry's tumbler better anyhow. I can't find the records in my log (not like me!) but IIRC, I've been beating up this Berry's tumbler now for nearly two years... it's running strong. I'm a fan of this one, FAR better than the "Frankford Arsenal" unit I got from Midway previously.

I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!

Re: What media for cheapo tumbler?
I agree. My Cabelas tumbler lasted about 4 years and ran well over 50,000 cases through it.
When my current "Smart Reloader" tumbler finally dies, however, I think I am going to drink the blue Koolaid and get a Dillon tumbler.

Re: What media for cheapo tumbler?
walnut is about best $$ at Harbor Freight
corncob is right at $40 for 40lbs at your local Grainger. Untreated of course but thats no biggie
And I 2cnd those who do at least some of this outdoors, I now take my tumbler outside to seperate brass & media. Air movement keeps lead exposure down although its probably too late for me 20years into this

Good point.
While I tumble in the garage, I empty the tumble outside, always.

Re: What media for cheapo tumbler?
Years ago, before I had a tumbler, I'd seal my brass in a cloth bag and run 'em through the wash machine. Cleaned real well. Now I run 'em through the vibrator with corn cob and dryer sheets. Personally I think the washer did just as good of job.

Re: What media for cheapo tumbler?
Slight thread drift here...
This morning I found that the bottom of my tumbler (plastic, of course) was cracked in multiple places around the all-thread.
I can't recall where I bought the tumbler from.
I see that replacement tubs are available. I have to wonder how hard it would be to match the correct one to mine. EX. would the mounting hardware match, etc.
Perhaps a trip to Harbor Freight with $60 is in order...

He had a coupon too.
$45.
