| Is the Dillon CV-2001 the best tumbler for the money to tumble .223/5.56 in large quantities in? I have a lead on a decent size lot of brass and might need to tumble quite a bit of it? How many 5.56 cases should I be able to do at once on it? |

I've had one for several years and it's been a workhorse! I can tumble up to 400 30-06 cases at once. I've used it for .50 BMG and can run 30 or so at a time with room to spare. I don't know how many .223 cases I've run at a time but it's been a bunch!
IMHO, you can't go wrong with one. |

Umm, Okay this past weekend I bought one of these from harbor frieght:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=96923 Went to the store it was reg priced at 199 and on sale for 149.99, I used the 20% off coupon of one item that you can find in your current Amerincan Rifle magazine. And I bought the 2 year warranty for 19.99. Anyway my total after taxes with warranty was $148.00. As far as I know, the Dillon warranty on "electrical" items is only good for 1 year. All I'm saying is this might be an alternative to the dillon tumbler. |

And if you really have that many to deal with, just do like the commercial guys do. They don't use tumblers.
