Hey guys,
New to reloading. Was wondering if anyone has used a Frankford Arsenal case tumbler and seperator from Midway. $~69 + shipping.
doing mostly .45 acp 200 rounds in a good week, average ~100/week.
Thanks much.
Tony

I'm also new to reloading, and I bought that exact kit. So far I've used it to clean a few hundred .308 cases and so far it's worked without a problem. The package is well worth the price, IMO.

I've had mine about 6 months and run a lot of "gently used" old range .45 through it. Works great. I took a chance on it because of the price spread between it and the others, and am glad I did. We'll see how it holds up in the long run, but so far its 100%.

I've had a Midway tumbler for about four years now, believe the Frankford is the same thing new name.
It's held up very well, no problems at all.

I went with the Berry's Munufacturing kit myself, but the Midway kit is a good one. Berry's makes good bullets too.

I use a rock tumbler (yes, for polishing rocks) that I bought at a garage sale. It has served me well for 18 years.

I have a Winchester tumbler and it seems to be the exact same model as the Frankfort/Midway tumbler. Different sticker and color only. Has been working flawlessly so far.

The case tumbler works great. The rotary separator leaves a lot to be desired. Especially if you've ever used a good one like the Dillon (although it's real spendy).

Why not buy the Dillon and NEVER have to buy another one. I went through 2 Lymans and 1 midway before I got smart. If I had bought the Dillon first, I would have saved money from the beginning. Quantrill
