LARGE tumbler?????
I have been using a couple Frankford Arsenal tumblers with no issues. I am looking for a larger tumbler to clean more brass. Rotary vs Vibrating???

Ive got the big dillon, 2001 or something.
1200 .38s or 550 30-06. I think thats the biggest until you get to repurposed cement mixers. No complaints, but if it wa much larger, it would really be a pita to move and use, empty, etc. Eta,if you do upgrade, hang on to one of your smaller ones for small jobs. Sometimes you dont want to run and empty that thing for 100 cases.

HF has concrete mixers that work well for large amounts

1st - those are vibrators .
Like you I have 2 . Plus the FA rotary and harbor freight [ one and 2 drum ones ] I got 2 sonics and all are running once in a while . [ to many nephews and nieces ] We seldom do more than 300 cases , but probably as many as 5 different calibers at once . [ so don't need bigger ] Which is best is like asking what car is the best . To me vibrators are the best , but stuff in flash hole , primer pocket and case are a few negatives . But rotary pins in flash hole , primer pocket and case are a few negatives . Most of time by the 3rd rinse the pins fall out of case . Corn and nut media in flash hole and primer pocket are cleaned out with the case prep machine . I / We deprime and reprime off press . Me , I would go to harbor freight and at least look at the vibrators . It is better to have 3 - if one breaks [ you are not down ] or you get really dirty cases [ you don't throw away as much media ] and you can run different media - nut , corn and the buckwheat [ I still have not found locally ] With my nephews and nieces reloading here - one of them will probably get me another vibrator - of course it will be their's , they will just leave it here to use .
