Hornady M-1 Case Tumbler – Clean and Polish Brass Cartridges Quickly and Efficiently – Holds up to 400 .38 Special Cases, Use with Hornady Tumbling Media – Item 050202

This tumbler works great! Right out of the box I filled it with Hornady media and tumbled the 500 rounds of brass I have been saving for a couple years. I did not use any added brass polish but my brass all came out of the media already clean and shiny! It is not extrememly loud, and it holds a fair amount of media and brass. At one point I had about 100 rounds of 300 win mag in there. That's probably more than you should attempt to put in it, but after about two hours they were cleaned up just fine.

Good tumbler, did a great job with corn cob media and dupont teflon car wax, first one came with a stripped out bolt that held the bowl so be careful threading it in, i advise getting some real 1/4" all thread for it, its pretty quiet, it is pretty fast 1 hour and cases are ready to reload, does about 500 9mm at once of 300 45acp, i even did 25 50bmg brass and it worked pretty well, the sifter is awesome i use it on top of the machine with the lid on top of the sifter i turn on the machine and slightly push down on the sifter and it vibrates all the media out of the cases so i dont have a big mess.

I bought thing tumbler because I wanted a second one. I decap call my brass with the universa decapping die. Then toss them in the sonic cleaner and run walnut for polishing. Well I decided to change it up a bit and run corn cob after there is difference in sheen between the two. This tumbler has great circulation and it is less noisy than my other tumbler. The included sifter is ok and a decent little add on but this tumbler is amazing. It is a little smaller than I though it would be but it still holds quite a bit of media.

This works great! I have one major concern though. December 2023 I bought one of these and it still works and when I run it I run it about 2-3 hours but recently I bought a second one and the second load of brass I put to be cleaned it stopped working! I honestly don’t know why I never overload it, but I probably just got a defective one but I 100% recommend this!

What I like most is the bowl and the mounting hardware are separate, unlike other brands where it's a single unit, prone to cracking. As for the noise, it's a tumbler. You are going to hear it working. Holds plenty of cases for my use and it stays put! Wish it was my first tumbler, would have saved money in the long run. It just works like it's suppose too.

Very easy to set up and get started. Hornady quality and warranty should last forever. Used with corn media and did a fantastic job cleaning after a few hours. Comes with a separator lid with minimal mess.

Awesome tumbler. Already had one, liked it so much I bought a second so I can clean dirty brass and polish separately. Sounds like a small fan when you’re standing next to it. Usually can’t hear it at all when you’re not. Cleans great as well.

Works as I should so far.
