Yeah I don't think I've ever seen more than 10 lbs at once locally. Usually it's 1 5lb bag sitting there if that.If you need that much I would order from them or they have a shop on Ebay, probably be way cheaper than any local shop.

Ordering from a bulk online source is going to be the cheapest.
Local is going to bend you over a stool and ... yup.
If I need media again that guy would be my choice.Found a amazing stainless media distributor, half the price for 50lbs then the cheapest I've seen online. If you have Facebook he goes by Southern Shine Tumblers. Have good results with the egg shape chips vs the pins. No stuck pins in primer pockets and inside the case. Also the chips reduce tumble times by almost half.

...since the OP has found a source...& thanks again!
Could I thread drift a bit?
Just curious on how folks separate the stainless media after tumbling, in smaller tumblers. Pasta strainer with netting in it & then a magnet, or ??.
Haven't seen that many how to's on that in particular as of yet, but granted I haven't been searching for that info specifically either.
Thanks!
Sometimes you can find those small mesh wastebaskets that are powder coated. I think something like that would work over a bucket.
Sometimes I pour the brass and pins through a bycycle basket (pic below) and the pins and wastewater go into a bucket. Then I agitate the basket a bit more to get the rest of the pins out. The bycycle basket is a little big but it was free and why not?

Edit: and for picking up the pins I use some strong magnets in a 1qt plastic paint cup. You just set the cup on top of the pins and it picks a bunch up. When you have the pins over the container you want to store them in lift the magnet and they fall right off the bottom of the cup.
Took awhile to find the right size with the correct lip to reuse the barrel lid clamp , but this is how I do it for both wet and dry. Tilt it on the right angle and all the stainless chips comes out as well as really tumbling the brass dry.
