Cleaning cases by hand

[dannyd123]

Where would one get a $60-100 rock type tumbler? I was looking the thumbler but they are hard to find and pretty pricey ($150+). Any recommendations for tumblers in the lower price range and sources to buy them?

Thanks!

Krazy Kloth is as good as it gets to polish clean powder on brass

It must be great to be you

When you add up the costs of a bench, press, dies, scale, various tools, components, and everything, the 60$ frankford arsenal tumbler should not be breaking the deal....

Shooting centerfire is an expensive hobby. Reloading also is.
Components are going to be the most expensive items anyway. (bullets, powder).
If you can't afford a 60$ tumbler, that means you can't afford 60 .308 rounds, and you might want to reconsider your reloading hobby.
I would seriously consider doing something else than reloading if I did not have a spare 60$ for a tumbler, just my point of view.

You don't have to agree with my point of view, that's perfectly fine. But then if you don't have 60$ for a tumbler, how do you pay the rifle, the scope, and the ammo to shoot it anyway.
Reloading is not cost effective to reload minimal amounts of ammo. And reloading lots of ammo is expensive. you get the point.
