Let us know how the Frankford holds up. Looks decent. I got lucky. Being a sanitation worker I came across this in the trash. Works like a champ.

i use the volumetric measure from my lee die set for 223 as the measure for my lemi-shine.
5 lbs of brass, 2 lbs of water, 5 lbs of pins and one scoop of LemiShine.
i was using way more originally (well water) but tried testing for less and that seems to be the magic amount for my usage. less was definitely more in my instance.

I just ordered the kit....tumbler, seperator, and 2# of pins and some lemishine.....300 shipped to my door....I ordered it on Sunday and it was at my door in 2 days.
I've used several times and have had no issues with the pins sticking in the brass......so far I've done 308,243,6mm and 223 brass with it. Brass comes out awesome.

Rotary types are quieter and can be run with wet media.
Vibratory types can have a larger capacity at a slightly less increase in price. They are also much faster.

Vibratory are faster than a rotary? Not in my experience...

It will get the outside clean but not the inside or the primer pockets. The only hassle is having to rinse them them off and dry them. Vibratory is take them out wipe off and resize. But the extra work with the rotary is worth it. Nice clean new looking cases inside and out.

I have two vibratory and two rotary. Just got the Frankford Arsenal here recently and first batch 950 .223's came out nice and I ran it for about 2.5 hours.(in a hurry) I normally go 3 hours on both wet and dry but the vibratory comes nowhere close to doing as good a job as the stainless rotary.
What GLshooter may have meant is with the drying time figured in yes Vibratory is faster and cleans well enough and that's what I do when I need some brass ready to go pretty quick AND that I plan to trim again. Vibratory's peen the mouths so badly I always feel I need to trim no matter how long they are.

Ah, you dont really need it. I cant tell that much difference if I use it or not. I use it because I saw it on the shelf at Wallyworld but it seems to make not all that much diff one way or another.
