I look at the black water pouring from the tumbler and think about how much of that junk ends upon the dust I had all over everything from my tumbler.
This ^^^ makes sense to me. That combined with still needing to buy more 45 ACP brass and I think I'm going to roll the dice on the Frankford Arsenal Rotary. Or maybe I'll call it the
'poor mans STM' or
'poor mans Thumler'.
During the last few years in Kaliforniastan I stopped accumulating Pb, postponed buying a new furnace and only bought brass when it was either on a terrific sale or something like 218 BEE, 25-20 or something else that's harder to find than hen's teeth.
When the expendables that we require for our hobby become more readily available again, I need to add primers, 45 ACP brass, a couple of powders and generate an order to RotoMetals. Also, will be in the market for a new furnace, likely a Pro Melt.
Still want to add a crossbow to our modest little archery section.
Lots of places for my meager little pension check to go. Think I'm going to go with the Frankford Arsenal Rotary. Reviews are at least as good as those for the Thumler and the STM and the warranty is better than most. Surprisingly, even better than RCBS' offering.
