    How necessary are case tumblers to the reloader who isn't high volume??? I like to find 1 or 2 loads for each of my rifles or handguns and then load up a box (20) of each. What is the best way to hand clean /polish brass?????

    Sherrifs dept here uses a small cement mixer because of the large volumn
    of cases fired at their range.

    The large Dillon will do 1300-357/45ACP,1000-44's,1200-223's,550-3006. I also saw a commercial reloader using the cement mixer.

    I wonder if that is where those squared off dings in the case necks on so many factory cases comes from[?]

    thumler's tumbler < http://www.thumlerstumbler.com/rotary.html > Model B (Stk #140)
    The standard of handloading experts. Heavy Duty, professional quality tumbler. Features larger, more powerful motor - continous duty, fan-cooled with overload protection. Steel hexagon barrel with removable rubber lining for long, efficient and quiet operation. 15lb capacity. 5 year guarantee on barrel and liner. Extensively used by serious hobbyists, laboratories, schools, industry for an unlimited variety of tumbling and mixing operations.

    the barrel is water tight so if time isn't a problem i tumble the brass in soapy h20 then let it dry then polish it in medium works great and extends the life of medium

    good luck lucas
