Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Case Tumbler

Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Case Tumbler

The Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Case Tumbler cleans and polishes cartridge cases with dry tumbling media. Its 1-gallon bowl holds up to 2 lb of media. In addition, Lyman rates the tumbler for up to 350 .38 Special cases per cycle. This capacity suits reloaders who clean batches of brass between loading sessions.

The Pro 1200 includes a built-in sifter lid for separating cases from the tumbling media. Therefore, the reloader does not need a separate media sifter for the normal separation process. After the cleaning cycle, the lid allows the reloader to separate the cases while retaining the media in the bowl. As a result, case cleaning and media separation remain part of the same process.

The 230V version uses Lyman part number 7631319. Consequently, this version suits electrical supplies that use 230V power. Lyman also lists a 115V version under part number 7631318, so the correct voltage should be selected for the intended electrical supply.

Brass Cleaning and Media Separation

The Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Case Tumbler works with conventional dry tumbling media for cartridge case cleaning. For example, the Lyman Corn Cob Tumbling Media 2.04kg provides a suitable media option for the tumbler. Corn cob media cleans and polishes brass as the cases move through the vibrating bowl.

Over time, repeated cleaning causes tumbling media to collect residue. Therefore, the media can become less effective as the reloader processes more batches. The Lyman Media Turbo Charge Corncob Reactivator 4oz helps maintain Lyman corncob tumbling media during repeated use. As a result, it provides a useful addition to a regular brass-cleaning routine.

For larger batches, the Lyman Turbo 1500 Pro Case Tumbler provides another tumbler option. However, the Pro 1200 combines a 2 lb media charge with capacity for up to 350 .38 Special cases per cycle. This makes it suitable for routine case cleaning where the reloader wants a compact vibratory tumbler.

Before tumbling, inspect cases and remove damaged or unsuitable brass. Likewise, make sure the cases suit dry media cleaning. After tumbling, inspect each case and flash hole for remaining media. In particular, bottleneck cases can retain media, so each case should receive a final inspection before further preparation.

The built-in sifter lid then simplifies media separation after cleaning. Consequently, the reloader can separate the cases without purchasing a separate media sifter.
