^+1 but the rcbs swager tool can put a nice dent in the palm.

Roman, you using the one that goes in your press?

I went for the table top model to eliminate a step on the press. But have tried it and is not efficient for my process? single press needs a budy system loading for 3.

That's like the

Dillon model. Which goes for about $100.

Ed I have found two peak accuracy points with Imr4064 @ 93.5% and 97.5% of full power load. Finish your ladder test and use your numbers !

I posted some pictures with results in the range pictures thread 2

Just wondered, brother, based on the "dent in the palm" comment. I'm using the one for the press, and couldn't figure out how that dented your palm... <lmao>

I still can't dent a bedpost! :)

I'm sorting my garbage can o'brass, and I can't seem to find the .308 brass I have so much of...

Not even one... I'm trying to make a dummy round to measure the oal of my planned load.

I finally got started on a 46lb bag of 5.56 1x-fired cases. Began by throwing 10 handfuls of cases at a time (~350) into the tumbler to clean them up. This is going to take a couple months to get all these prepped.

I still keep hammering at the bed post and she still doesn't know lmao

Annealed 308 brass tonight , too bad that nice looking Annealing mark is going to go away when I SS Tumble them .

mineralman55 · March 6, 2015

After 4+ days of constant tumbler running, they are all done. I don't know about this.

sketch · March 7, 2015

^4 days will make your head spin :)

Washed out the tumbler and media good ol soap and water and pantyhose! Just waiting for it to dry hoping the media holds up ??

98Z5V · March 11, 2015

250 additional rounds of 300BLK. 7 x 30rd mags and 2 x 20rd mags loaded again.

Hornady 150gr FMJ BT over 16.1gr H110, CCI 400 primers, cut-down Lake City 5.56 brass.

Why ?

sketch · March 11, 2015

My Gf found some pantyhose and I thought it would be a worthy experiment? Granted the rcbs media I can get is 22$ . In the mean time I'm also giving the lizard bending a try at 11$. I know all this is just my rout to wet /ss tumbling ....

Edit: not my pjs you bastards ;)

Onesee's

mineralman55 · March 26, 2015

After making a time estimate of how long it would take me to process my 46 lbs. of 5.56 cases, I threw in the towel and found a commercial place to process them for me.

http://bullseyeprocessedbrass.com

WOW! One week turnaround and these things look like new! Sized, trimmed, swaged and steel pin tumbled for $135. Can't beat that with a stick.

Of course, now I've got to go load them up. The "work" never ends.

survivalshop · March 26, 2015

46 pounds , damn thats a work out , I would still do them my self . Hell, just the Powder & Projo's will cost a heap ! <thumbsup> <thumbsup>

AngelDeVille · March 26, 2015

Prepped and primed over 150 ZQI brass, seems to be pretty good stuff.

I even converted a few 30-06 cases to .308 just because.

I have 500+ .556 in the tumbler now.

sketch · March 27, 2015

Loading up on .300 blk tonight! Bro is bringing a bag of cutdown .223/556 like 100/200 rnds! And I have another 150 ready to load! Then we're going to breakin next week!!
