Shot for stainless steel in tumbler. See that the one from re loaders is $499. I don't buy that one cos I am too smart. I order the same model for Cabelas for $380. Congratulate myself on how smart I am. I can't tell from the photos if it's a switching power supply and will work on NZ voltage but it's the same model right? Must be ok.

Tumbler arrives. No switching power supply. Look on the Jaycar web site. A transformer is $50 so go buy that. Get home. Won't work cos no ground plug. Look at the amps, it's too small. Go back to Jaycar, swap it for a bigger one thats $159.

Total cost $539...

Yep

That's why I built my own.

Cheers
