    My Lyman 1200 is at least 20 yrs old, never missed a beat.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I have had my Dillon large vibratory tumbler since they were introduced. I have done a lot of tumbling over the years but not at commercial levels. When it goes, it'll be another Dillon. They take up a lot of space in the shop but they will tumble over 1000 .45's at a time. That is important to me (I do batch processing). It's probably overkill for me now that I am no longer competing but I am used to it and don't want to downgrade.

    I have a Lyman 1200 that is 17 years old and still going strong. I stepped on the lid once and I got a new one from Lyman for a few bucks. I use a time and run it only for an hour at a time and then let it cool down some and then run it again.

    Corn cob and nu finish wax and I am a happy camper.

    I also use a large Lyman which makes a lot of heat. I use a cooling fan with mine.........Creeker
