RangerTrace Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 After 10 years of the CV-750, I finally upgraded to the CV-2001 and large media separator to keep up with the capacity of the 1050/bullet feeder. Man this thing will clean some brass!! Seemed like watching grass grow, waiting on the CV-750 to clean 500ish cases. This thing will knock out 2000 a pop.

See_Archie_Shoot Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I moved from a CV500 to the CV2001. Same thing. Wow it’s much faster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost for the bigger unit isn't much more, you just need the space to store it. Mine sits on top of the fridge in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWS Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Good info - thank you ! When I do upgrade, I will look at the CV-2001 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmg1 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 How close to the top of the bowl is the media before you put your brass in? I have a older Magnum FL 2000, and put in the 42 cups of media, a coffee can full of 9mm, and got media all over. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my dillons will over flow if I fill with media and brass before switching on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 13 hours ago, SeattleDude said: and two CV-2001 is even better This. I bought a CV-2001 and have on loan my uncles FL-2000. Running both of these is about 1/3 or slightly more of a 5 gal bucket in one run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I let a batch run over night last night and there really isn't a noticeable difference between 2 hours and 8 hours....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy a timer that will let you set it about every 1/2 hour plug it in at night it’ll only run a couple hours. Cost about 10 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost about 10 bucks.This is what I do. I have the timer set for about 3 hours so if I can't get right out there to turn them off they auto shut off. Works great.

pjb45 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I fill mine with brass first then media to a pretty full mark. I run it for a few seconds and watch how it settles and add more media. Media is a whole set of threads on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane1973 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I do exactly the same. I add enough media to basically soften the brass on brass rattling sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane1973 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 On the media topic, I've heard of some people throwing in a few spent primers as well. Apparently it helps get the really thick crud off old range brass. Anyone hear of this before? Bear in mind that I'm in South Africa and people try all kinds of crap here.

diversmith Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yup! Started with a 750 and upgraded about a year later to the 2001. Huge difference! Sold the 750 to a buddy at work that was just getting started in reloading. We were both happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7VY Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I bought a used 2001 and being the Dillon fanboy that I am I thought I would be done. My Frankfort tumbler does a better job at polishing the brass or finished rounds. I’m using the same media and polish in both of them and the Dillons results are significantly lower than the Frankfort’s. I’ve tried dryer sheets and leaving the top off to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieD Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Just got one of these, motor gets surprisingly hot, is that normal on this unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFT_Guns_Up Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 CharlieD, I just used my CV-750 for the the first time today and it gets hot too. Would it help to point a fan at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
