Stainless steel media question

I seen that for stainless steel media it says to use a water tight tunbler. I was wonder what all of you use it in. Also does it clean it as good as I've heard.
 
Thumlers tumbler. yes it works as good as they say. Just do a search and you will see hundreds of shooters will say the same thing.
 
The main page of Accurate Shooter.com has a wealth of informative articles and guides and should never be forgotten. I also have the Thumlers tumbler and it works fantastic!

Stainless Tumbling Media System Review

I use an RCBS SideWinder tumbler w/ dedicated drums for STM media/Ceramic Beads/HBn/NECO Moly/NECO Carnuba Wax/Un-treated CornCob/Walnut Shell-Rouge.

If you NEVER want to de-carbon another case/primer pocket.... again-STM Tumble your brass!!
 
I dump the brass/pins in my seperator that is placed on top of a 5 gallon bucket to sort out the pins while rinsing the brass, after removing the brass, I rinse the pins, and dump off about 3/4 of the water, then set my cottage cheese tub containing a large HD speaker magnet inside, on top of the pin pile and finish rinsing.

The HD magnet will hold all the SS pins in place, so I don't loose any more down the drain, then the bulk of the SS pins is dumped into the thumbler and the magnet is used to retrieve the rest from the 5 gallon bucket and placed into the thumbler.

Tia,
Don
