Off use of a tumbler

Oh well, that's good to know. Maybe I can get some money out of the thing then at the next gun show. I'll make up a sign, "Magic tumbler! Bidding starts at $500!!!"

I'm gonna be RICH I tell ya, RICH!

Rich, that is just funny as hell!

I guess it may depend on what tumbler you have. I doubt Cabelas ever made anything in their existents.

I have a M2 Hornady which is their entry level model. It may not have enough poop to lift a loaded .308.
My .308s sunk and I never saw any sign of them again. It works really well with just empty cases. I guess that's what it was designed to do.
The better vibratory tumblers probably do a better job of lifting heavier rounds up and moving them around. I primarily use a rotary tumblerI built 30 years ago and I bought this vibratory on a whim.
But I like it.
 
A Thumlers Tumbler, made for rock polishing, will move loaded rounds just like empty brass. Tumbled a 1,000s of rounds of surplus 30-06 in my Ultra-vibe 18.
 
I'm wondering why anyone would risk this? known good cases and known good ammo is ALWAYS cheaper than medical bills and broken weapons.......
 
Grey_Lion, bullets explode in a rather violent way already and actions are made to withstand at least 15% over charge just for the safety margin and they actually will withstand even more than that. I just yesterday watched a youtube video where this dude was shooting 50 BMG's out of his 12 gauge single shot.
