Anyone have one? Im really enjoying my lyman press and powder measure. Thinking about upgrading my Frankford arsenal tumbler.

I've never bought a Lyman Press, but my first dry tumbler was a Lyman 2500 Promag, and it's still going strong! It's a big one and I had a lot of brass to tumble.....no complaints at all.

Just noticeable in the top left corner is my wired timer. It controls an electrical outlet below my 3 tumblers. I just plug in the one I want to use, set the timer, turn it on, and go to work. When I get home it's done.

I've used Lyman tumblers. They are great. But then I tried the water, dawn dish soap, and steel pins in a wet tumbler set up. I'll never go back.

Me too, but I still use the others at times. One use that the Thumbler and pins can't do, is a quick tumble after loading, 15 to 20 minutes in corncob, to clean the case lube in bulk.

It came today. I set it up. And have some 9mm brass in it now. Buy does it move the media fast. And it's quiet.

Nice machine.......big too! Cut a few dry sheets in 1" squares and dump them in. Helps with the dust more than you think it could. Did you notice the bumpy shelf liner I put under mine?.......stops it from walking. ;)
