In need of a new tumbler

[Lunchbox27]

I have a Lyman 1200, currently. It has served me well, but I’m sick of doing batches of 100. I would like to be able to throw in 2-300 cases at a time in.

Currently looking at the Lyman 2200 or the Dillon 2001. Both are close in price. The Lyman has the autoflo, which is a nice feature, but the Dillon certainly looks to hold more. No wet tumble, just walnut or rice.

Anyone currently running these care to share your thoughts?

I have 2 of the large Dillons. I often run them in 12 hour shifts and they have held up to this for years.

I have two Dillons, forget the size, I think "medium". One is 20 years old, the other is 15 or so. Still running like champs.

A unique way to think about this. If you do a LOT of shooting, I would recommend the Harbor Freight Tumbler. Yep, you heard me right. However there is a slight caveat to this recommendation. BUY THE WARRANTY. Use the tumbler, abuse the tumbler and when it breaks, return it and buy another warranty.

I know guys that do this with numerous items from Harbor Freight. They say in the long run, it pays to buy things this way than to buy expensive items from other stores.

YMMV

Dillon. Nothing else close.

Couldn’t you get a bigger tub for the lyman?
