I bought a Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler that claimed to hold up to 1,000 pieces of .223 brass for cleaning. Oh it held the brass count but problem was that with the brass and pins, it wouldn't hold enough water, detergent, and lemishine to actually carry away the crud and keep it in suspension. End result was brass that was covered with a slimy substance that had to be re-cleaned in smaller batches.

It's just like your washing machine. There has to be the right balance of clothes, water, detergent, and room to move the clothes through the water.

Of course one could do large batches in a cement mixer if they employed the same sustem as new washing machines. Find a way to have the solution separated from procduct and media, then pumped back into the drum to wash over the tumbling media/brass mix more effectively. On my new washer they call it "Turbo-Wash".
