Vibratory Tumblers?
All: I want to polish and clean 1000 223 cases at a time. What's the biggest and most bad assed tumbler on the market? It's time to upgrade my old Midway... Cost not an issue.. Thanks in advance, Randy

Try the Lyman pro magnum 2500. Not sure if it will take 1000 .223's but if it dosen't it will be the closest one out there to getting the job done that I know of. The 2500 number is the quoted number of 38's it will handle.

At this time of life it's easier to sell the wife on a vibrator than a tumble...

You want bad-assed? Look no further than the Dillon CV-2001.

Roll EyesActually there are a lot of industrial tumblers on the market in many sizes that will do a bang up job. Any machine shop used or new equipment vendor has them or can direct you to what you want. There are some really nice rotary drum types just the size you are seeking and they don't cost an arm and a leg. A local plater, stamping house or machine shop can put you on to a local supplier. cheersroger

IIRC the smallest "Burr Bench" brand vibratory tumbler holds something over 250 50BMG cases with room to spare. Your 1K pcs of 223 would be a piece of cake.

Seems like "big" and "inexpensive" do not go hand in hand.
