I have used a low speed Thumler's rotary tumbler to clean and polish brass for a long time. I use a steel ball cone shaped media for the other things I do. It is not great for cases because it won't get in the primer pockets. I did just recently buy some stainless pin media for the tumbler, and WOW, ultra clean brass. If I can figure out how to separate the media from the cases easily I will retire my vibratory machine and walnut shells. So, my question is this: does anybody have any good ideas on how to separate the media? I have not tried the rotary media separators yet. I guess the online shipping costs were too high for me. Perhaps I can find one at the Wannemacher gun show coming up. Any cheap bastard methods that work well?
