Lyman Pro Magnum Tumbler (115-Volt), White

The media could not be loaded.  I’ve worn out one of just about every unit out there and Hornady was the top machine until their quality slipped. Hopefully they’ll get enough feedback to get their quality control back up to par. But in the meantime this Lyman is a great machine for the money. If you’re going to run it really hard be prepared to replace it, but it’s a good machine for the price. It performs with the high dollar units, just doesn’t last as long. Some say it runs hot or burns up motors… read the manual, do not place on carpet or cover it with anything. The fan needs to draw air from the bottom. Adding holes in the base helps. A concrete floor is ideal because concrete is usually cooler. Mine has run in scorching Texas heat with a fan on it at night for weeks. 10’s of thousands of cases cleaned beautifully.

Love that it works really well in half the time it says it needs

Delivered promptly, runs great and processes ALOT of brass at one time. Relatively quiet and runs great in a garage or out on a deck weather permitting, just to keep your indoor space quiet for the long runs. Bought the corn cob media with it and the combo cleaned up my brass as well as some field collected discolored/weathered brass as an experimental performance quality test. Outside of brass shells were cleaned and shined nicely. Insides of shells are a bit harder to clean, especially necked shells like .223, but it does a great job. A must have.

The high capacity for the price makes this a good value if it lasts. Mine is only a short term review as I've only run it a few hours so far.First, I would caution this tumbler is not suitable for brass contaminated by lead-styphnate primers. You will be shaking the dust of lead salts into the air you breathe in your work space and when you dump or sift the media. There is nothing that can make this work that is worth the risk to your health.I use mine with brass shot with heavy-metal-free aluminum/bismith-oxide primers. I also decap and use a different wet tumbler first to clean the brass without making dust. I suggest if you shoot lead-styphnate primers that you at least deprime and wet tumble them before using this dry media tumbler.I use this dry media tumbler with corn-cob media to polish and "wax" cases with a synthetic polymer additive (like Nu Finish or Meguiars). Some people advise against the use of additives for critical defensive or duty ammo because of the uncertainty about whether it affects reliable ignition. I would suggest factory ammo is an even safer bet. Dry media tumbling also ensures the cases are dry after wet tumbling. The dry media isn't a good way to dry wet brass, but it can ensure that any water not removed by air drying is absorbed.Now to this Lyman in particular, it has a capacity greater than most similar tumblers and at a price under three-quarters of a hundred dollars it's a lot of capacity for the price. Other high capacity tumblers are the Dillon and the Thumlers UV-18, both of which cost several times more. Either of those tumblers might be expected to last 15 or 20 years and if you're sure that's what you'll be using 15 years from now, they might be a better choice. If I had to buy a second or third Lyman Pro Magnum in that time frame, I'd still have spent less, and if I decide 5 years from now that I really need a UV-45 or larger tumbler, I won't have to try to sell the smaller one.The low price is why I didn't buy the "Auto-Flo" version, which is as much as sixty dollars more. It's fast and easy to dump this ligtweight Pro Magnum upside down and the media through my separator into a 5 gallon bucket.The tumbler is remarkable quiet despite the hard plastic bowl. I found the lid is not very rigid and therefore it's ill-fitting. The wing-nut on threaded-rod closure is also tedious. It takes a lot of nut-spinning to get it on and off.

This tumbler holds a lot of brass. My old Frankford Arsenal tumbler held about 400 pieces of 9mm brass. This holds around 650. Despite the higher capacity, it doesn't necessarily clean faster or better. Running this at capacity overnight doesn't leave the brass nearly as clean. Perhaps with a smaller batch of brass, it would do better, but that negates the point of the larger capacity.

Holds a lot and cleans pretty quickly except for primer pocket of course

I owned an RCBS one that died after a few hours of use. RCBS refuses to fix it so I decided to get this one from Lyman and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This is a quiet yet heavy-duty machine that gets the job done.

I used this product for less than 2 months and it completely broke. I’m very disappointed and would not recommend this tumbler to anyone.

Tiene una capacidad bastante grande para poner piezas y dejarlo trabajar durante bastante tiempo para que salgan limpiaz

Great Tumbler. You can ram 250-300 223 in it and let it tumble for few hours with crushed corn cob and they turn out great.

Perfect

Muy útil para limpiar cascos

nice capacity and as advertised
