which tumbler?
I currently have the cabelas 400 vibratory tumbler and it works fine when I can find a good media/poilsh combo. I was wondering if any of the other brands out there for tumblers are at all better. I love dillon products and notice their superiorty in many products and was thinking that maybe their tumblers might be better. I dont want to spend the money to find out what I have works just as good so I need some feedback from those who have tried some different brands. If anyone can recommend a better brand in their opinion let me hear it, thanx guys.

I, too, used a Lyman Turbo 1200 for several years (until the bowl wore out) and found it more than satisfactory. I then bought the small Dillon machine and found it to be more robust in every way. There is simply no comparison between the two. This is a purchase I have never regretted, except for the fact that, while the small Dillon machine is adequate for my needs, I wish I had sprung for the big one. You can't beat that unlimited lifetime warantee.

yes I love dillon but its only a 1 year warranty on the motor. How big is the bowl in the smaller one? I am thinking of buying a dillon but cant come to spending the money since hte one I have works still. I think I will wait till this one breaks or wears out then go for the dillon.

I thought all Dillon products had the lifetime warrantee; I will have to look into this. The small Dillon tumbler is 11.5 inches in diameter by 4 inches deep. I do a lot of shooting and have found the small machine adequate, but wish I had bought the big one. A friend has the larger machine and warned me that you need a lot of room (a big bench) for the big Dillon.

I have the Lyman 3200 and it is a very good tumbler. The right size and very dependable.

You guys aren't shooting enough. Use a cement mixer, it's a dual purpose machine.

well i do use the cement mixer for my brand new bear coated les baer super tac. It gives it a nice pitted dirty gray color that looks so nice and rugged. It gets some snad in the action and rails to ensure a really clean surface. Sometimes I even take some sand paper to it to remove that powder residue. Works like a charm, you have any other good ideas?
