The dumbest thing I did as a newbie reloader this winter was to build my dream reloading setup from scratch (early birthday present from my wife) and decide to save a few bucks and not get a tumbler. Over a few months I spent $1000 on assorted presses, dies, turrets, ammo boxes, dry boxes, a storage trunk, prep tools, gages, scales, etc. and yet somehow decided that I should save a few bucks and do without a tumbler.

It took me about a week to realize how silly I was washing range brass in a bucket and drying them in an oven when a good Franklin Arsenal tumbler for $42, $10 worth of pet store media, some old dryer sheets and some nufinish would do the work for me- and do a better job of it. 5K+ shiny cases later I am pretty thankful I came around.
