SpringWho makes a good tumbler?
Who makes a good tumbler for brass ranging from .270 to .470?

Rob1SGI like my Vibra Shine Vortex. Plenty of room for cases and does a excellent job of shining.I bought it thru Sinclair International.

woodsHow about a substitute for a tumbler? i haven't plugged mine in since I got a Lee Zip Trim and 00 steel wool. Gets them shinier than a tumbler and you can trim and clean a batch in no time. You can get a chamfer for it too, but I stell like to chamfer by hand. Wish someone had told me about them before I spent all that money on a tumbler, walnut medium, additives, mesh sacks, etc.

fredj338All of the vibrating types do a good job w/ the right media. I have a Thumblers & a Dillon (the BIG one), both work fine.

AndersWith little experience though, I have to agree with fredj338.. I think the most important factor is the media.
I bought a Frankford Arsenal thumbler and some fine-grained media. Didn`t work.. I almost returned the thumbler. Then I bought Tuff-nut (walnut) and the cases started to shine like they were supposed to.. Look for one that satisfies your needs on case capasity..
