RE: Vibratory tumblers
If your just looking for something economical try a midway 1292 model .I have two of them and never a problem .Some people like corn cob and some like walnutshell media ,myself I buy a 25 lb bag of ground corncob from the pet store that they use in bird cages.I used to clean 5 or 6 thousand rounds aweek as part of my business . just about any good brass polish will work . The amount of time depends on how dirty the brass was when you start ,but around a hour or better . Hope this help some.

RE: Vibratory tumblers
ROSSMAN,
It depends on how many cases you usually clean at a time. The two best cleaners I know of are the Dillon 500 and the 2000. If your like most reloaders the #500 will handle the job for you. If your like me and clean 500-600 .223 cases at a time then the 2000 would be the one for you. If I'm doing a lot of cases at one time the I use a Dillon media seperater. If I'm only doing 50 cases or so, I've found a kitty litter scoop works just fine. If you want the Dillon Bluepress, their number is 800-762-3845. All of the Dillon products are covered by a lifetime "No B.S. Warranty".

RE: Vibratory tumblers
BigBob: Thanks! I won't really need too big of capacity one, I'll likely only be cleaning 50-100 rifle cases at a time, maybe a couple hundred revolver (454 Casull)cases. Thanks again for the information. I'll check out the Dillon 500.

RE: Vibratory tumblers
You all can believe this or not, but I built my own vibratory case cleaner from scratch, and it works like a champ!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> An old bundt cake pan, some auto brake springs, a refrigerator fan motor and some plywood.
My wife says it looks like Fred Flintstone built it, but , like I said, IT WORKS!
Total cost-less than $25.00. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
