Dillon CV-2001 Case Cleaner

[ghuns]

Any opinions? Dad wants some kind of case cleaner from Santa. Doesn't have to match his pretty blue press but is there anything better out there?

I had one fail a few years ago and Dillon wouldn't stand behind it, so I looked elsewhere.

I love my Dillon presses but without the warranty, they're the same as everyone else's.

It looks nice, but at that price and without the lifetime warranty, I think I'd buy 3 of the Harbor Freight units to give myself a little flexibility and a little more total capacity. I know, the Harbor Freight units aren't going to be considered top of the line, but I can't tell the difference between it and an Lyman unit I used to have.

My CV750 is three years old and still kicking. +/- 25,000 cases ran through it. Cleans/polishes a full load in 1-2 hours.

I have a Dillon FL-2000 the one prior to the 2001 model anbd I love it. I load comercially and i find it much easier to work with due to its large bowl.

Hey, does that FL really mean what I think it means?
As far as a normal type reloader, Try this tumbler from Mid-South: https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00047VBSR0052001 with this bowl: https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00047VBSR0052002 and you should be able to clean a bunch of brass in a hurry. I've not heard anything bad about these tumblers, but for the price what can you say?

I have a Hornady M-2 and a Lyman Pro 2500. The Lyman holds a huge amount of brass but is not quite as well constructed. The Hornady is well constructed. In 2011 I sold well over 250,000 pieces of brass and they were all polished in those two vibrating cleaners. They ran 24 hours a day, for months at a time. Both are still fine. The Hornady is fine for 300-500 pieces at a time. Both will do the job. good luck

I have a CV-2001 and it's spectacular. Highly recommended.

They took care of me..

I had a FL2000 for around 15 years=10's of K of brass..The motor went out last winter. Replaced with a CV2001 last Jan.--Motor went out last month-Dillon sent me a FREE motor assembly. The CV2001 motors are under warranty for ONE year...Bill.

I have an old Dillon tumbler that's over 15 years old and still going. It gets a lot of use! I think all electronics from Dillon only have a 1 year warrantee.

If I had to buy a new one tomorrow it would be another Dillon.
