The setup that I have is the smallest I would go. If you use the 9" length of 6" pipe and 5lbs of media you are good to go for tumbling smaller quantities. I have tumbled 150-300 pieces of 223 brass and have had the same results each time. Only difference is that the smaller quantites don't need as much time to tumble.

Best part was that this was a previously corn cob media tumbled batch that I decided wasn't clean enough. The water that was dumped out after tumbling was almost as dark as a just fired batch.

The stainless steel tumbling just does a tremendous job of cleaning the inside of the case as well as cleaning the primer pockets. My dry tumbler needs to find a new home.

For those that don't have the time or ability to build your own tumbler this is a great option. They can be found cheaper elsewhere but Midway always has a nice description and pictures.
