Hi Andrew,

>     What brand and model tumbler do you use? (I want to buy one, but
>     want to be sure it has enough power to tumble steel shot.)

    The one I'm using was made by Gemstone of Simi Valley CA. The bowl
    is about 8 or 9" in diameter & 4" deep. It's shaped like an angle
    food cake pan. I talked to the mfg yesterday at the Tucson show & he
    said he hasn't made any for a number of years. 

    In place of that one, you might check at a shooting sports store.
    They sometimes have vibratory tumblers, at a better price than the
    jewelry suppliers I might add. Folks who reload their own ammo use
    them for cleaning the brass before reloading. 

Dave
