SR405 media separator

[Steve B]

I picked up a Smart Reloader brand SR405 media separator. I'm not going to even use it just sending it back. Here's why. With this unit the handles are removed each time to split it in half. Dumbest thing I've ever seen. It would require you to load it in the pan, then try to lift it without spilling media every where while you put the handles on. Then rest the handles on the pan, close lid and use. If I could have seen this from the pictures I would have never ordered it. It's a shame because of course the price was good at $20.99.

Midsouth has a rotary case sifter 038-502023 $19.29 It is made by the company that does the RCBS case sifter. Bought one for a friend and it is exactaly the same as the RCBS. The only difference is that it is red and has Midsouth on it. Order toll free 1-800-272-3000 www.midsouthshooters.com FYI: minimum order is $40, if not a $5 service charge.

I bought one of these online, used a coupon code I found online for free shipping, and didn't need to follow the minimum order. Not sure why. Works great, especially for the stainless steel media.

I would be concerned about the dust not being contained doing it that way. That is one of the reasons I chose to use a separator with a lid.

Um...it has a lid though. The reason the notches are cut in the bucket is to allow the lid to go on and create a tight seal. I get no dust. If you want, put the lid on, shake it up, and then let it sit for awhile before you remove the lid. Unless you're concerned when you're pouring into the basket. There is some dust then, but I put on one of those blue surgical type masks you can get in the paint dept at Home Depot or Menards. No issues so far and I've been using it for months.

Went back and looked at your setup again. Sorry, I missed the lid the first time. Ok, sometimes I'm a bit slow.
