Lyman Rotary Case/Media Separator

The Lyman Rotary Case/Media Separator addresses a persistent pain point in reloading operations: efficiently removing spent media from processed brass without the mess and time waste of traditional methods. Whether you're running a high-volume handloading bench or managing ammunition prep for duty carry, this separator streamlines media recovery and case inspection. Lyman's engineering team redesigned the entire separation process, incorporating features that make the job faster and cleaner than competing models on the market today.

The rotary design combines a removable inner basket with strategic positioning controls that prevent movement during operation, a critical refinement that reduces spillage and uneven media distribution. The basket's geometry allows gravity and rotational motion to work in concert, separating media from brass cases without requiring manual agitation or tilting. This design significantly reduces hand fatigue during extended reloading sessions and minimizes fine media dust that typically contaminates work surfaces. The unit's compact footprint at 12.3 x 10.4 x 16.9 inches fits standard reloading benches without consuming excessive real estate, while the 5.78 lb weight makes repositioning and storage manageable for both fixed and portable setups.

Serious reloaders—from law enforcement armorers processing range-fired brass to competitive shooters managing high-round-count practice loads—benefit most from this separator's reliability and consistency. The fixed basket positioning ensures uniform media discharge patterns, critical when processing mixed headstamp brass or specialty calibers requiring careful case inspection. Installation requires no tools or mounting hardware; operators simply position the unit on a bench or cart and begin media separation immediately. This Lyman product integrates seamlessly into existing reloading workflows regardless of press type or primer tool configuration.
