I bought a RCBS rotary and I hate it. Imposable to get the handles on and of.http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=RC87076&src=tpMfg

Will this Battenfiels compare to the Dillion?? I hate to buy another and not like it. The bucket idea looks good but can you open and close the cage without needed three hands?

I have not used that one, but my large Dillon seperator is awesome.

That same tumbler is only 20.99 at midwayusa.

I have heard they work fine but like Jonathan I use the Dillon unit. They work on the same principle so it should work fine.

Hey thanks for the price check for Midway. I like them better anyway. The Dillion is twice the price. If I had bought it first I would have saved money!

that battenfield is identical to Frankford Aresenals. I have it and I like it, but dont have much to compare it to

Do you like it? Easy to use?

I have one sourced from midway it works, you just have to spin pretty slow as you get the bulk of the media out first. Closing it up with a sliding pin is kinda goofy but it works. The price was right.

+1 on the Dillon separators.

loved my rcbs here. I like how it is enclosed when it turn as to keep dust down

Compared to the Dillon media separator, I prefer my RCBS. I am not sure why you want to take the handles off and I don't remember my old Dillon having removable handles.

If you don't like it, go to the dollar store and get a colander and a 5-gallon bucket.

[shott8283]

Gary - yes its easy to use. really basic. mine has two side shields that help with media spilling out of the sides and out of the bucket, i dont use them i just go slow untill the majority of the media is out of the tumbler then i crank it to finish it off.

its nice b/c the post supports can be mounted to any bucket. i have 2 buckets setup b/c i switch between corn and walnut.

not bad for the price. im sure there are better ones out there but it works for me and its simple.

Get one that is fully enclosed to keep the dust to a minimum.

Biggest problem is the bucket. Have to turn the unit very slowly or it throws media all over. Get a tub and it will work as well as any. If you turn down - bevel - the pin it will be a lot easier to get into the unit to lock it.
