Huge Dillon Tumbler - Worth It??

[kingdarb]

Does anyone own the massive dillon tumbler? Is it worth the cost? It appeals to me to be able to tumble everything at once, instead of in batches..

Depends on how much you shoot and how long you can afford to spend changing out batches of brass.

I usually toss around 1k pistol or 500 large rifle in a single batch. Sure worth the time savings for me. If you get it, do yourself a favor and get their large media seperator as well.

Just my .02.

depends on price, you can convert a cheap cement mixer

It works well, bust as suggested, get the big media separator to go with it.

Depending on what you're tumbling together you may also need to separate cases that get stuck together - 9mm in a .40 for example and that's a PITA.

Yeah I hate it when the cases get stuck. I try not to do different calibres together i. Any case as I dont like to seperate the calibres after tumbling.
