They are all going to make noise. I have a Thumblers Tumbler and it works great. I do put it in the bathroom and close the door.Tired of the noise and wear with my vibrating tumbler. Any thoughts about rotary tumblers (wet or dry) and brand suggestions?

Lee dies make great ammo. I had the 4 die set but didn't need the crimp die. Sold all my 6.5 CM stuff a while back.I won an xdm 5.25" 45 in another raffle. So I load 45 again. Loaded up 300 hornady XTPs over credit pistol. I didn't like how little powder was in the case using titegroup.
I dragged out my mec to the back porch to finish off the last of my 7.5 shot hopper. Ran about 60 blue Peter's and about 70 black RP shells out before I finally ran out. Had my 8 yr old feeding primers and wads until she got bored.
Then I started sizing 380 brass. Made about 500 or so before it got too hot in the garage. Going to work on another hundred or two after I cool off a bit.
Looked at dies and brass for 6.5 creedmoor yesterday but didn't buy anything yet. Think I'm gonna have to go with the lee collet die set. Sounds like the best bang for the buck.

Merely a suggestion. If you'll use 1 1/2" pipe and attach it to the bottom front of your bench, you can angle it back to the baseboard and leave yourself a lot of foot and leg room to move back and forth sideways with an office chair. I did this on mine and it helps a great deal. the angled part that goes from the bottom front edge of the bench down to the baseboard needs very little anchoring, if any, because all the weight is transferred to the floor and bottom plate of the stud wall. Mine is in my Man Cave (formerly a garage) and it allows me to move sideways back and forth at the bench. Supports on mine are about four ft. apart (I used a solid core door also for the top) and it's very sturdy. Just my two bits.My wife needed mulch. Lowe's has it on sale and there's no sales tax this weekend. So off to Lowe's we go. She also said we should pick up the door slab I've been wanting for a workbench top. We hit the door aisle and get a guy to help us load up the 36x80 door for $65. I ask if he an cut it in half for a workbench top. He mentions he's got a better deal for me. We go around the corner and there's this 32x96 slab door. It was returned because it had a scuff on it. The price was $100. I said the other door is a better deal. He then said how about $50?
So we loaded that massive slab up and took it over to the saw and split it. So now I have 16' of 16" deep workbench top. Hopefully I can convince SWMBO to let me get the framing lumber to frame in a climate controlled space.
We also picked up her 25 bags of mulch.
The best part.....Lowe's took an additional 10% off the door for the military discount. It was a $250 door slab that I picked up for $45 and tax.

I use mostly Lee dies. I just haven't ever used their collet dies. They don't make one for 6.5 Jap so I've always used an RCBS set I picked up when I started reloading those guys. I'm pretty sure I read that the collet die doesn't stretch the case so some guys were getting 30-40 reloads per case with less trimming and prep work.Lee dies make great ammo.

Hoping they make dies soon for the next caliber I want to get into.

6mm Creedmoor. Specifically in a Savage Stealth Evolution.I use mostly Lee dies. I just haven't ever used their collet dies.

What caliber are you looking at next?
