Placed an order along with my cousin with Wideners this morning. I will have 10k Wolf 223SRP, 8lb of Ramshot TAC and 1k Hornady 55gr Zmax bullets coming my way. Decided on the TAC because it was in stock and I just don't trust the pulldown powders shelf life. The Zmax bullets are priced well and I just couldn't resist adding them to the cart.
After Christmas I hope to be able to purchase some 55gr FMJ to try out but the CC will need paid off before another purchase.

Well I have come to the conclusion that the Frankford Arsenal vibratory tumbler that I have had since I started reloading is adequate for cleaning pistol cartridges but fails miserably at cleaning 223/5.56 brass to my liking. So during some internet searching I came across stainless steel media wet tumbling and the stunning results post tumbling. This led me to a bunch of homemade tumblers and being a DIY kind of person......I'm building my own tumbler.
I will create a seperate how-to thread sharing the components that I bought and how I put mine together. Only thing that I need to complete the project is a motor so if anyone has one laying around that they would sell me cheap, I would greatly appreciate it. Something similiar in spec to this Dayton motor is what I need. Dayton 1/4HP 1725 RPM Motor

Here is my progress on my home made tumbler so far. Just need myself a motor and I'll be wet tumbling with stainless steel media.
