Why a Brass Tumbler is the Best Option for Cleaning in Bulk

Vibratory tumblers from Berry’s Bullets are the ultimate solution for bulk brass cleaning. Here are the key benefits of using our tumblers:

  • Superior Cleaning: Our vibratory action, combined with cleaning media, delivers uniform cleaning for all brass cases. Each piece is thoroughly tumbled for consistent results, producing cleaner brass inside and out. This includes deep cleaning of primer pockets and primer holes, as well as polishing for a superior shine. The process effectively removes stains and oxidation, giving your brass cases a bright, mirror-like finish.
  • Efficiency: Designed for bulk processing, our tumblers can handle large volumes of brass at once, drastically reducing cleaning time compared to manual methods.
  • Time-Saving: Vibratory tumblers are faster and more convenient than hand washing or ultrasonic cleaners, making them ideal for most reloaders.

 

These features ensure that our tumblers not only clean brass efficiently but also improve the overall performance of your reloaded ammunition.

Our Vibratory Brass Tumbler Offerings: Berry’s Model 400 and QD-500

We offer two premium vibratory tumblers designed to deliver exceptional results when cleaning brass cases. Here’s how to choose the right one for your needs:

Model 400 Brass Tumbler: Select this model for a durable brass tumbler crafted from high-quality, injection-molded parts and powered by a robust motor, backed by a 3-year warranty. This model is ideal for those cleaning moderate batches of brass cases with various cleaning media. It’s large, smooth bowl ensures consistent tumbling, while the clear polycarbonate lid allows you to monitor the process. If you need efficient, reliable performance and value precision in your brass cleaning routine, the Model 400 is the right choice.

QD-500 Brass Tumbler: Choose this model if you’re a serious reloader looking for maximum efficiency and convenience. This brass rotary tumbler features a patented quick-detach system for easy bowl removal, simplifying media separation and reducing spills. Its larger bowl is perfect for cleaning bigger batches of brass cases at once, and the clear domed lid offers excellent visibility during the tumbling process. If your goal is to speed up your workflow and handle high-volume brass cleaning with ease, the QD-500 is built for you.

How to Use Berry’s Vibratory Tumblers

Step 1: Choose Your Media

Start by selecting your preferred tumbling media. Options include corn cob media, walnut media, or stainless steel pins, which are all excellent for removing oxidation and polishing brass to a high shine.

Step 2: Load Your Brass

Add your brass cases to the tumbler. Ensure not to overload; overloading may cause a split case or damage to your brass.

Step 3: Add Polishing Additives

For an extra shine, squeeze in some of Berry’s Brass Bright Polish. This will help remove any remaining dirt or primer residue and enhance the luster of your brass.

Step 4: Start Tumbling

Secure the lid, turn on the machine, and let it run. The QD-500’s clear domed polycarbonate lid allows you to check the progress without interrupting the cleaning cycle. Typically, the tumbling process will take between 2-3 hours, depending on the volume of brass and the type of media used. The clear lids on our vibrating tumbler allow for easy monitoring of the process.

Step 5: Finish and Separate

Once the tumbling is complete, use a media separator like Berry’s Pro Rotary Brass Sorter/Media Separator to easily extract the shiny brass from the cleaning media. If you are wet tumbling, use a paper towel after separating to help speed up the process of drying your cleaned brass.

Pro Tip: Take a used dryer sheet, tear it into four strips, and add it to your media. This will capture a significant amount of dirt and primer residue. Be sure to remove the strips while wearing gloves and avoid breathing in the dust during this process, as primer residue can be harmful. Dispose of the strips in a covered garbage can.

Dry Tumbling vs. Wet Tumbling: Which is Right for You?

At Berry’s Bullets, our vibratory case tumblers offer the flexibility to perform both dry and wet tumbling, catering to your specific brass cleaning needs.

Dry Tumbling: Utilizes dry media for effective surface cleaning and polishing. It’s ideal for regular maintenance and quick sessions, providing good results with minimal mess.

Wet Tumbling: Adds water or some sort of cleaning solution (typically dish soap) for a thorough, deep clean that targets stubborn residues inside primer pockets and flash holes. This method is perfect for heavily soiled brass, ensuring a comprehensive clean.

Whether you prefer the simplicity of dry tumbling or the thoroughness of wet tumbling, our tumblers are designed to accommodate both techniques, allowing you to achieve excellent cleaning results every time.
