This route seems the best, quiet and delivers phenominal results. All my stuff is on order. I have a lyman 2500 and a lyman 1200 and they're not too bad if you put them in a closet. No tumbler is going to be extremely quiet due to what it's intended purpose is. With regard to media, either the aforementioned SS or use corcob which you can get from graingers (40lb bag from graingers 20/40 grit) |

Most of the time, I use one of those red rock polishers with ceramic pellets. It does an awesome job.

If you want to go basic and cheap, I started with a hornady tumbler and Lyman nut media. The media will last a long time. As a tip, cut up a used fabric softner sheat and throw it in. It will cut down on static and collect dust.

I bought some "Lizard Litter" at the pet store awhile back. It's ground walnut shells and about half the cost of the stuff they sell to reloaders.

There's about the best deal you'll find on media. I would recommend a lyman tumbler. The one I'm currently using is 27 years old, still going strong, and I'm considering upgrading to a larger lyman. |

My Thumblers Ultra-vibe 18 has been working for over 20 years but they are not the cheapest.

The bigger vibratory tumblers (15lb+ media capacity) like the one at Harbor Freight are super quite in comparison to the smaller ones. Mine has been running hard for over a year now .... looks to be a winner.

I got a new RCBS vibratory 2 years sgo. Crused walnut, dryer sheets and a capful of noxon every six months.
Works great. It's in my basement on my bench and pretty quiet (I cant hear it running upstairs. They dont "walk" across the table either. I do need a good separator now though. I make a mess every time I tumble. And you will quickly learn what cases to tumble with each other and which to avoid. I once put 50 of each (45, 40 and 9mm) in it and all I got back was 50 dirty stuck togher brass sandwiches. |

If your looking for a sweet tumbler setup theres a guy on snipershide that sells
some. If your looking for somthing cheap a lyman works. Just comes down to How many cases and how much will you use it. |

The Cabelas media seperator works well and is only $27.

The OP for one of the Thumlers & SS media threads. IM him and he'll get you an email address. A batch for the Thumlers is 5# and I understand it lasts and lasts. I'm in line waiting for a delivery and can't wait to give this stuff a try...
