Just be careful which media you use. The ones with polish can coat the inside of the neck and change the grip on the bullet. I have a Lyman and it seems to work ok. I prefer never dull and a small towel.

The big dillon is the shit, but I'm too poor and have the Frankford Arsenal one. My first one failed, and they gave me a 2nd one. It was worth $40 but the big dillon holds a lot more.

Do you have a specific need for a vibratory cleaner?
I use a Thumler's Model B rotery tumbler. I fill it almost to the top with brass, add 1 cup water, 1/4 cup 409, and 1/8 cup lemon juice and three hours of tumbleing later I have brass that looks better than new.

A Dillon using walnut shell's and a couple cap's of liquid car polish will achieve the same results in an hour as you do in 3 W/O the recipe. Vib's will beat a rotary EVERY time.

If that's the case, I wouldn't buy it. Dillon stuff is worthless without the warranty, as it's far more expensive than its competition.

I got a vibrating tumbler from Harbor Freight during their spring sale for under 40 bucks out the door. Another 20 got me 25 lbs of walnut shell media.
Near as I can tell it's no different in quality than the RCBS that my dad has, I think it's the same company making everything in China and slapping different labels on it.

I've been driving a Thumler 18 for about 18 years. I've had it run literaly for days while doing big batches. Most times I turn it on and go to work, then come home empty it and turn it on again till the next day and repeat as needed till done.
FWIW they started out to tumble ROCKS and they are made for the abuse that brass just won't give it.
Cheers,
Doc

I've run the Frankford Arsenal one for two years and burned one of them out. Midway paid the shipping both ways and gave me a $20 gift card for my trouble as well. I'll stick with it.

This, and you can buy separate bowls from HF for it as well so just pop one bowl off and put a second bowl on it without needed to sort right away before polishing more.
