Stainless tumbling media

#1 Postby BATattack » Wed Jul 13, 2022 7:07 am

Hi all

I'm on the hunt for some stainless tumbling media that is 1mm diameter X 12mm long or .040 X .500 in imperial.

Seems to be a good size that doesn't get stuck in cases

In my experience it's not so much the size as the way the ends are cut that cause the pins to get stuck.
The ones from aussiesaphire are sliced at an angle, which results in the ends having very sharp points. These get themselves wedged. Try ebay, you're looking for flat ends.

I bought this stuff back in 2014 15 as I needed so much of it cos I built my own sizeable Tumblr at the time was way cheaper than Aussie Sapphire
