A used Lyman turbo 1200 brass tumbler off Ebay is in the $30 to $40 range. A 10 pound bag of corn cob grit is $20 shipped. Add a bottle of liquid car wax and you are set for cleaning/polishing (you only need a tablespoon every third batch).

I sent AW a link for quality used dies at half the price. That is also where you can get the corn cob media for cheap. PM me if you need it

For bullets the coated lead from Bayoubullets, SummersEnterprises, bearcreeksupplybullets, or missouribullet are all good sources for range bullets. Shipping is running about a month behind for everybody. Don't bother with plated bullets as they are the least accurate when compared to Jacketed, coated, and bare lead. Bare lead can be shot in anything except polygonal barrels like Glocks if you keep the speed at 1100fps or slower - I try to keep them at 1000fps. I can provide proven load recipes for range ammo that utilizes coated lead projectiles - they may need to be tweaked +/- 1/10 to 3/10 of a grain to fine tune them to your gun.
