I am curious if anyone here uses SS media for their cases. I've only recently learned of the stuff, and am considering switching. I've gotten a little weary of the constant mess from the floating dust particles, the thought of carcinogens in the media, itself, as well as having to constantly replenish my stock of media.
I would like to know what your experiences are, and wether or not there are any trade-offs. Also, I'd like to know if there are any tumblers considered more "equal", when it comes to wet tumbling.
Thanks,
David

Thanks, David I looked at that stuff for years and finally Ritch beat me about the ears enough and sent me enough pictures of his results so I bought it. The stuff is neat as pockets. The Thumblers Tumbler Model B being sold with it is the perfect tool for the job. The NEW ONES have a HI SPEED motor. I have an old one that only does 1/2 the RPM. Ritch tumbles his in about three hour s= or -. I'm running mine in about seven. Since I retired and have nothing better to do it is not a big deal for me though the motor upgrade is in my future for sure. The guys I got mine from are over on Predator Master. Very fast in shipping and will answer dumb phone questions when I call them. The biggest trade off is that you can't do 600 223's at a whack like in the big Dillon. You can do about 140-150 in the 5 pounds of media in the tumbler. |

I am a faithful ss user, i even designed and built my own large capacity tumbler that has turned into a second business for me. have a couple hundred units out in the past 2 years. your brass comes out looking brand new, no dust just awesome.   |

Can you use stainless media in a standard Lyman tumbler? I know it can't be used wet but I don't know what the reasons for having it in the roller type tumbler are.

It is too heavy/dense to use in a vibratory tumbler and if it is not wet it won't work either. Two strikes against the vibratory Lyman. If you stuck it in one of those the brass would just float on top of the pins. Greg |

I once had some brass that was in a bucket that got wet and tarnished really bad and I soaked it in vinegar and water for a few minutes and then I tumbled over 3000 pieces in a cement mixer with old corn cob media and rice for about 2 hours and it came out wonderful. I didn't know if the stainless media would have made it easier.

That is what I was thinking as I wrote that post Greg.
