Tumbler recommendation needed

[ninefan]

You already asked before about the best deal out there Alan... Berry's Tumbler... also sold by Cabela's. They do a fine job and they also seem to have the best track record for living more than a year or two.

I picked up a smart reloader brand tumbler ar Gene Sears but they have them at H&H also price is more than reasonable so far so good.

This might be a silly question, but do you de-prime before you run it in the tumbler?

 

[doctruptwn]

I've got one of the Cabella's tumblers, works great, never had anything else to compare it too. So the recomendation is worth what you paid for it.

NO! If you de-prime first, some of the media may get stuck in the primer pocket effectively clogging the flash hole.

If you want to deprime then tumble you can, I do it that way often. Just go through all your brass with a needle or a small point and make sure the flash hole is clear.

I've used Thumber's Tumbler for years. It will not heat up even when left running over night. I also have a Lyman but much pefer Thumber's tumblers.

thumler's model B for me. love it.

Yep I use this with some small stainless media, inside and out are spotless. Hot water and dawn. I also use the Cabelas/Berry's with corn cob media - it's been going for 9 years just fine.

The thing I like about the Lymans is its easy to unload the media from the bowl - good design IMO.
