I wasn't sure if I'd like reloading, so I built myself a small wet tumbler for cheap. Uses a Motts apple sauce jar with 2.5lbs of stainless pin media. It rolls on two pairs of shafts on bearings, with one shaft powered with a small gear motor I had laying around. I've only tumbled this way, but I'm very happy with how clean they come out, and the lack of any kind of dust. I've only tumbled 9mm and 10mm brass, I can fit about a couple hundred in the little jar, which is enough for me.
It's pretty easy to see if there's any pins leftover inside a straight walled pistol case, I could see it being a little tougher with a necked cartridge.
I use a tiny bit of citric acid (I found that less is more - I put too much once and the brass came out dark, although still usable) and a a small squirt of dish detergent. I recently switched to some Turtle Wax wash/wax liquid, it supposedly leaves a film on the brass to prevent tarnishing (not an issue I had).
