    Yes sorry the Lyman one, £55 vs £130 though. They all come from China, it's just the logo on the front that changes. The only thing I can see which is different is the basket, the cheaper one doesn't have sides to it, but I have a smaller basket which centres the cases over the transducer.

    I run around 30 cases at a time for 8 minutes + 8 minutes, heated, with a squirt of washing up liquid and 25ml of SeaClean 2 (but leave this out if you're cleaning nickel plated). The water's pretty nasty after 100-150 cases, but the cases and primer pockets are clean with a matte finish.

    It seems to be quieter than tumbling, no chance of a fouled flash hole, cheaper to run, no airborne lead dust, and much quicker.

    Thanks for the info
    It's all forgotten now, but Rockers and Mods only started fighting as the Rockers were annoyed at having some of their comments removed

    Well I bought the lidl one today, ok but not great with just washing up liquid and warm water so going to go for the lyman copy I think and see how that goes.

    If anyone's interested the lidl one is .6L and will hold 100 hornet cases or 50 6.5x55, just.
