    I have the Platinum series tumbler that has a 7 liter capacity versus the Lite Version's 3.3 liters (I don't think the smaller version was available when I bought it). I've never put 308 or 223 into it, but, without the pins, I can do 1200 or so 9mm cases in 90 minutes and get very clean brass with a good, bright exterior polish. The case interiors and primer pockets, that'd need decapping and the pins to get spotless, matter less to me; I'd rather be able to clean more brass per run.

    murf205,

    Suggest you check the reviews - not exactly glowing. I've got the original and larger FART, and it does a great job in all cases.

    Yep, I have read the reviews and strangely enough, several said that the tumbler drum needed to be almost full to work well. It is starting to sound like the old saying that you get what you pay for. I have read some pretty glowing reports of the ice cream mixer tumbler conversion. However, no one wants to make a youtube video of a failure. That's why I trust the opinion of yo guys here.
    IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us!
