Is this rock too big for my 3 lb barrel? Should I just go for it and see what happens? ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dx3rhkxyb/image/upload/v1720755439/bitm7qi8ztkpuapr6tsb.jpg)

There are a couple of rocks too big for your barrel. You can definitely try. I guess not too much will happen to the rocks.

Honestly, I would just give it a try. Why not? One bit of advice would be to just tumble one of those big rocks, and add smaller rocks as fill, until the barrel is about 50% full. The smaller rocks will create better motion in the barrel and help carry grit more efficiently...

Awesome thanks for the info. That makes sense to me.
