Question - One of the last things I need before getting into reloading is a tumbler and media separator. Any recommendations? Besides something on sale? ?

I bought the Dillon FL-2000 back in the 80's when they came out, and it's still going strong. If and when it ever bites the big one I'll replace it with the exact same thing. It's well made and large enough to hold plenty of brass. I believe it's now called the CV-2001. Dillon also sells a nice size media separator, but mine came with my marriage. She is just as fast!  Bill T.

This is what happens when you reload a lot. 2 Dillon 550b's



Not included are single stage presses, my Mec shotgun reloader, or my casting or cleaning equipment, 3 vibratory and one still rotary case cleaner. But look at the tuperware bins I keep my dirty brass sorted from my clean brass in, they each hold several thousand cases.

Maybe I will take a few more pics, to show the rest.

A couple pics of my reloading shed

These pics are a little old I have another 2 presses now and little more ammo and stuff  ;D
Top pic is one of my ammo safes in the shed.
The last couple pics you can see how one side of the bench lifts up out of the way. When out it is braced against the floor and ceiling for additional stabilization.

While I started reloading with a Lee handloader in the barracks, I soon moved up to a used RCBS RS2 single stage press on a folding table (carted that thing around post to post and to Germany).  Once I bought a house keep the same table in the garage or barn.  Now that I finally retired but still not home my wife built for me last year a 16x20 two store work shop.  One corner is set up for reloading and casting.  Here's a picture when I set it all up.


Here's another shot taken last week when I was home on leave.  Lots of empty brass above and below in cans and crates.  From left to right on the bench is a Lyman sizer/lubicator, Mec 450 Jr 12 ga press, Dillion 550B, powder stand and that old RS2 single stage.  Need a case vibrator next.

This is the first time I ever actually saw this thread.  And a few of the setups are very nice.  BUT!

A little something to think about here.  Do you fella's realize the police, FBI, ATF, and so on ALL regularly report in the media that they consider even so much as one small container of loose powder "Bomb making materials"?

Just saying...

Oh yeah.  "I gave away ALL my reloading stuff a year ago.  Guns, ammunition, ALL of it.";  My official statement on this matter.

How many of you have ever listened to a radio report or read a news story that talks about the arsenal and inventory ... stock pile of ammunition and then considered what you have at home?  I mean, four guns and 75 rounds of ammunition  :o  Just saying   :-\
