I've been reloading for nearly 50 years and after much trial and error have a Lee production pot, Ohaus ingot trays, and Lee molds in two and six cavity configurations. Just got a Lee sizer after 4...

Advice from a fellow Buckeye. Go with the vibe. But buying a tumbler is like buying a car.. How much for how much is the question. My first choice is my Vibrashine Vortex. Quiet, fast and...
