RCBS Sidewinder problem.

[Acera]

Had a RCBS Sidewinder tumbler for years now. The drum just broke. Wore a hole in it. Looking for a replacement drum.

Does anyone know of a cheaper drum than the $85 one they sell online?

Hate to drop as much as a whole new system on just a part.

They are good tumblers, just not sure if it is worth that much over a new one.

aren't they like $400 new? The new tubs for a Thumler are $85 also, if the motor is good why not?

Yeah, that tumbler is way overpriced IMHO. However, it does a good job. Don't think it is worth 5x the price of new vibratory model. Just trying to figure out a way to not spend the same as a brand new vibrator model to fix it.

Really would like to find a steel drum for it, one that will not wear out.

Call RCBS. They might surprise you with a new one, free.

Thanks, witchhunter I will give them a call on Monday.

Anybody got a lead on a metal drum for one?
