I've got 2 stainless tumblers, no name models but they do the job well. Thin lets are good but as you say a lot of money.

Shiney brass is nice but I go there's simply no need to make them so shiney all the time.

Yeah I got a couple I took with it sitting on my trailer , it's getting a bit old now but still works good . It's got three speeds , the lowest speed is about 50% faster that a commercial tumbler top speed is about twice as fast .

Yes it will moly coat 2 thousand 224 bullets at a time or a thousand 30 cal without slowing down at all . Plus just about any barrel can be used . I did intend to add barrel edge rollers but so far it's not been necessary .
