No more range brass for me, at least for a little while. - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I sorted through enough to fill a five gallon bucket last night and its nearly all Winchester brass so no worries about those nasty speer cases. The few odd head stamps I have seen while sorting through it has been mostly Federal and these were very few and far between.

I have a dillon 650. When you get the casefeeder you are going to wonder what you were thinking not having one.

So what tumbler do you use currently? Dillon?

You should've bought two barrels.

You could've cleaned up a couple thousand and put them on Ebay and made back a lot of money.

Everyone say that once you have a case feeder you will wonder why you didn't get it earlier. No doubt I will say the same.

At present I have a rather small Lyman Twin Turbo Tumbler. With the larger bowl it will do about 400-500 40S&W cases at a time. It is presently running at home as I type this. I use and old light timer to turn it off after about 5-6 hours.

How much does a drum like that cost if you don't mind saying?

We payed $255 per drum and my share of gas/toll money was another $25 so I payed $280 for the drum. If my estimate is correct that there is ~14,500 pieces in there then it works out to $19.31/1000

Not bad especially for pretty much one headstamp.

I would've loved to got my hands on a barrel of 9...that would've ben about 17,000 pieces give-or-take a few. Would be nice to find a barrel of 9 speer nickle plated!
