Dillon Case/Media Separator

Post by Charles L. Cotton »

Does anyone have any experience with the Dillon Case/Media Separator? The homemade version I built many years ago is too small for the large vibratory case cleaner I got a while back.

Does it do a good job of getting the media out, or is there still a good bit of hand work to do?

Thanks,
Cahs.

I have had mine for about 4 years. It works very good. Dump the media and cases in, turn it for about 30 seconds and all the media is now separated from the cases. It even works good with small mouth cases like the 223. It is a little dusty so I would not plan on using in in the house. I tumble and separate in my garage. I have the smaller version but I am sure the larger one will work just as well. If I had it to do over again I would have purchased the CM-2000 in lieu of the CM-500.

I've got one of those big blue seperators and it's definitely worth the money imho. It's a heavy duty piece. Not some flimsy junk. I imagine mine will last as long as I do.

Thanks guys, I'll order one tonight. Houston1944, I reload in a spare bedroom, but all of my tumbling is done in the garage.

Thanks again,
Chas.
