Is it better to have a big barrel half full or a smaller barrel almost full for cleaning efficiency
when you tumble your cases
this with water stainless steel media and cases?
I asked this question because in my building project of a tumbler I have the choice of 8 gallons capacity and 2.5 gallons barrel
and if I wish to keep the weight reasonable the big one would be half full and the small one almost full to achieve the same weight
final goal would be to tumble around 300 to 400 cases of 30-06
 
Re: tumbler cleaning efficiency

My tumbler came with a smaller bowl to put inside the big one in case I have smaller jobs. Maybe you can build in something similar and have it both ways
