I bought the smaller FA tumbler, and after figuring out to dry off the drum, had no problems ever since. In fact, bought a second one so I could do two batches at once.

Make sure drum exterior is bone dry, and that the top is not leaking. If the drum exterior is wet, the wheels will just spin. Dry off the drum with a towel, let it air dry for a minute or so, and...

Shooting from a revolver
Wanting a low power, light recoil load
I shoot in a steel plate competition that currently does not have a minimum power factor, in which numerous other players also shoot very low recoil, low power loads. Not sure what you are referring...

I now am casting boolits from the Lee 356-95 95 grain boolit. I'm trying some loads with 231, but with a nice...
That's a great idea. I just ordered the Lee 95 gr boolit mold and will be trying it out soon.
I have recently aquired a shiny new S&W 929 9mm Revolver specifically to shoot steel plates, and I am wanting a very low recoil load (in this particular league, PF is not a factor).
I have a good...
