I like Dillons large one, but the Lyman with the media dump has me interested.
What would you buy, Both have good reputations.
Dillon is big, I like that, Lyman has a pretty neat idea about the media release or so it would seem ?

Hi Picker, hopefully I would change my mind and buy a rotating drum for wet

cleaning with stainless steel pins.

I have one I like the Frankford, wet tumbler, but sometimes I like to dry tumble especially in the winter.And truthfully for pistol I don't see a lot of advantage to wet tumbling.

Separating media and brass is cheap and easy, I wouldn't worry about the presence or absence of a built in separator. A mesh laundry bag and plastic bucket works fine.

I got the Dillon media Seperartor, I just was thinking it would be nice to tumble brass in walnut, use the Lyman easy dump and refill with corncob and polish.
But I suppose I have drank the blue kool aid too long I ordered a Dillon.this will give me the capacity I need.

Thanks men for your opinions, I started out with 2 Frankford tumblers, like Rod one with walnut and the other with cob, but they are a little too small now I need more capacity .
I'm hoping the big Dillon will hold as much as Frankford wet tumbler.
By the way I have had no trouble to speak of with the Frankford stuff, for the price they are hard to beat, I will use the small ones for small batches but that rarely happens around here.

Also I noticed online there is a walnut media with jewelers rouge in it, the gripe was "Red Dust" but loading in a barn the red dust should be a non issues anyone ever try this stuff ?

Dont overlook the harbor freight beast model..The frequently offer 20% percent coupons that make this a great deal.

It will do 1000 .223 cases or over 1500 9mm cases in less than an hour. While not ideal it will also work as a wet tumbler if you have really dirty range brass.

I have owned both size Dillon tumblers and I am very impressed by the large Harbor Freight model.

That does look like a good one, thanks for the link. I'm gonna hafta give this some thought.
