Bayou Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I was at Bass Pro today and was looking at tumblers and came home and did some online looking also between the Lyman Pro Magnum 2500 with and with and without the autoflo and the one by Grafs (Berry's). The Grafs sais it's a 4 quart that will hold 1,000 9mm but that has to be all cases and no media since the bowl appears to be like the smaller tumblers at Bass Pro. The Lyman 2500 sais 1,000 38's but looks larger than the grafs. Any clue on these two. http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/...productId/5395 can get for 42.99 http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/...roductId/10459 can get for 62.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Check out this model from Cabelas. I bought one after searching through the forums, and it's a great tumbler. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=120675&st=0&p=1421768&hl=cabelas%20tumbler&fromsearch=1entry1421768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiker Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 just to further confuse the issue. . . I bought a Smart Reloading Dream Tumbler from Natchez $31.99. I've only run 2 batches through it but could not be happier: Dream Tumbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Frankford Aresnal lasted me 2 years and the plastic bucket cracked. I bought a Lymann 2500, it does a much better job of cleaning and holds a 3# coffee can full of brass, and it is quiet. I've only been running it for a year but its been good so far. Worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 +1 for the Lyman. Mine is 5 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckfarris Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I know it is cheap but I have been running my Frankford Aresenal tumbler for about two years. Probably 15000 rounds and I have been happy with it. When and if it goes down, I wilp probably get a Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUshooter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've got a lyman turbo twin that I picked up at the local bass pro. I really like the liquid bowl it came with, because my case feeder and ninja media don't like each other. The tumbler is relatively quiet and after 1.5yrs of moderate use, seems to be holding up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have had the berrys for 5 years with no issues and have cleaned ALOT of brass!!! 3 yr warranty on motor and lifetime on plastics... http://www.berrysmfg.com/product-i14546-c47-g8-b0-p0-400_Tumbler.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 seems like all of them use the exact same motors, and all of them are hit and miss, I had a midway that lasted for 6 or 7 years running alot. Burnt up got replaced for free ran a couple years, died, bought a cabelas, dont think it lasted a couple months, bought a lyman, lasted a couple months also. All of those had the same motors. Went with the dillon 750, has a much better stronger motor, been running like a top for 4 years so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
