Tumbler question
« on: September 27, 2010, 11:07:55 AM »
I have decided to get a tumbler because I dont like the liquid case cleaning kit that I have.  After looking around online I came up with these two options.  I have a limited budget, so I am looking in the lower price range.  Tell me what you think.  Well I was going to post links, but cabellas website is not working right now.  I was looking at the Cabellas brand tumbler kit for 64.99, or the Lyman 1200 on sale in the bargain cave secyion for 44.99.  Your thoughts are apreciated.


There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

I have a little lyman that works great, I am still a novice reloader though. My neighbor loves his liquid, I think it is all he uses. What kind is your liquid? Are you gonna sell it? I can ask my neighbor if he is interested or knows of anyone that is if you want.

I've got the tumbler from Cabelas.  I've ran thousands of rounds through it, and have had no problems.  Some of the price difference might be in the size of the bowl, which would translate into how many cases you can tumble at a time.  Smaller the bowl, the smaller the volume of rounds you tumble.  Mine will hold around 100+ 30.06 cases fine. 

I've got mine in the garage, and usually kick it off at night before I go to bed, and they are nice and clean when I wake up.  I throw in a couple of glops of auto polish, which gives them a nice shine.  Cabelas kit goes on sale every once in awhile, for about $52, if I remember.  The miners pan that comes with it to sort out the media is all right, but I'm going to get one of those media sorters when I get the money. 

The only difference between a butt kisser and a brown noser is depth perception.

Don't forget MIDWAYUSA.COM and CRAIGSLIST !!!  Got mine from Midway 15 years ago and still works great.

You need to clear your cache memory for cabelas to work.  I dealt with the company this morning as I couldn't access my credit card.  They refixed their computer, but it won't work if you have their original in your computers memory.
