I posted about my new Hornady LNL AP press and mentioned I clean my brass with stainless steel media. Some members replied asking questions about the media.
What is stainless Steel media? It is small stainless steel pins (What I use) or balls that are used in a rotatory type tumbler.
Rotatory type tumbler? It is a tumbler that rotates media (Dry or wet) around usually in a closed drum. I use the Thumler's Tumbler
Wet media? It is media that requires a liquid to work properly.
Where can I buy the tumbler and media? Just to let you know I do not work for any of these company's! I am just passing on info to those that maybe interested.
The link to the media site is a industrial company and "Normally" deal in larger orders so you won't see small amounts to order. You need to either email and ask for a quote explaining what it will be used for or call the 800 number and tell them what you would like. I paid $4 per pound and 5-6 lbs is normally what is needed for most rotatory tumblers that would be good for tumbling brass. Also there is a minimum order of $25 minus shipping.
