Palmer's Review of RCBS Rotary Case Cleaners
I went with the rcbs for several reasons:
-Mostly the shape of the barrel, and it has a handle integrated into the shape. Being able to hold the barrel with one hand so you don't have to bear hug it to get the lid on or off is pretty darn nice.
-The handle on the barrel makes it easy to hold it upside down in the sink and rinse it out with a hose or sprayer.
-The flat spot on the barrel, to accommodate the handle, throws the casings much better than the normal six sided rigs. Almost all the other brands you can find someone created a paddle of some sort to throw the casings.
-The lid has a handle which eases one handed removal.
-The threads for the lid are an ideal half turn setup so no cross threading. It only needs to hold a quarter psi of pressure, not the combustion pressure of a Powestroke.
-It's gear driven so no belt to break.
-Finally, it's RCBS so hopefully they stand behind it. Obviously they don't make it, it's Chinese like all the rest.
—>>I’ve cleaned a few batches of brass so far. A very small load and a very heavy load over 25 pounds. No slipping, no falling off. Dry is important here. Is it noisy? Well, it’s throwing little brass cans against each other so that’s a noisy process. The machine does make some noise as expected but nothing outrageous. The machine running by itself, no barrel, is about 70 decibel. Add the empty barrel and up to 75 decibel. Those are normal conversation volume levels. With 80 44Magnum cases or 100 medium rifle cases, the noise level is about 100 decibels. Those numbers are no water, which dampen the sound slightly. The sound isn’t obnoxious and it’s much quieter than my old setup that finally died. The softer inner lining of the barrel definitely helps keep the sound down.
