I've been using corn cob media from Lyman with their green additive already in it for years, and only change the media every couple or three years or so, because it looks dirty, but still cleans.
I usually let it run for four hours, but it's probably clean sooner than that.
I'm still using the Lyman Turbo 1200 tumbler that I bought used for $15.00 over 25 years ago.
The liquid cleaning, then drying, is more than I'd want to fool with.
I normally go through 500 rounds per month, more if I'm function testing a new or modified gun, and 1500 rounds whenever I attend a weekend training class. I usually do 2-3 classes per year, so that averages out to some 10,000 + rounds loaded and shot per year.
