    First wet tumble batch

    2 table spoons?? Geez. I use less than a 9mm case of it with dawn and stainless pins in a rock tumbler and it comes out like 18k gold-plated jewelry.

  2. Wanting to get into reloading

    I hear this all the time and I don’t get it. I’ve never read a manual and have only had 3 squibs, one bulged barrel, and still have 9 perfectly good fingers.

  3. $400 for 8lb jug of H4350?

    I think my old 1lb powder bottles have $29.99 price tags on them so $40-50/lb isn’t bad considering primers and ammo are 3-4x right now. I’ve seen primers at $350-400 per 1k which is absolute insanity.

  4. Wanting to get into reloading

    Start with easy cartridges like 9mm or 45ACP. There is plenty of load data available for both from reliable sources as well as several good reloaders on youtube to get you started with setting up your press and basics.

    $25 Hoosier Bullets 9mm sample pack

    Out of stock. Was hoping to get a few hundred while my RMR boolits arrive.

  6. Tru Prep has components!

    What about 9mm projectiles and primers?

  7. How do you guys clean your nickle brass?

    Same as brass brass. Wet tumble with stainless pins.

    New to Reloading, How do I find Components?

    Good luck! Glad I kept all my components all these years. Now I just got to setup shop again

  9. I'm ready to throw lee pro 1000 in the yard

    I’ve had their classic turret press for years and it works excellent for my casual reloading, but when it does get finnicky it’s usually the priming “system”. If you do a lot of reloading on a progressive press, I think you either bite the bullet and spend the money on a Dillon or you deal with...

  10. Cleaning with Stainless pins in a vibratory tumbler??

    Yes. Let it run at least 3-4 hours and they come out like jewelry. After they’re done, I sift the brass through a plastic pasta strainer which catches the brass and let the pins fall through to a catch container. Then I put the brass in ammo trays (from used ammo boxes) or just spread them on a...

  11. New Lee Progressive press coming out in April

    Agreed. I started on a classic turret and I still love it. The priming can be finicky on occasion, but has worked quite well for me about 95% of the time. The auto-disk powder measure has been very consistent as well for a couple common handgun powders. I like that I can use the turret press as...

  12. Want to get into reloading

    I know everyone will tell you that you need as many reloading books as you can get your hands on, but honestly, the internet is a much better resource, except that you must decipher good info from bad. Pick up a good manual, nothing wrong with that, but YouTube is a great resource to get an...

  13. Pre-prime or prime prior to loading?

    Some primers are harder to set off than others. I've had several light strikes with cheap Tula primers. Never with Federal or CCI except some of my pistols with lighter hammer springs won't set off the CCI primers consistently.

    Speer has colluded with El Diablo

    Since I started tumbling with stainless pins, I see absolutely no need to clean primer pockets. The brass comes out looking like polished jewelry in and out.

  15. Disappointed in reloading handbook

    Reloading manuals are overrated. :bolt:

    Ballistic Bill's rotary tumber?

    I got this one too. I wasnt sure I would care for tumbling with pins so i bought this cheap contraption to try it out. It works OK, but it doesn't seem to tumble the cases as much as it just swooshes them around due to the smooth shape of the drums. Only used it a couple of times and the cases...

  17. .....

    It's not really worth the time for common handgun calibers unless you just really enjoy doing it. I only got into it in case of an ammo shortage. Anyhow, I'm almost sure I have a bunch of primed 9mm casings I can give you. Let me check and I'll PM you.

  18. 9mm Reloading questions

    I've never noticed an appreciable diff in round nose vs. hp, but I don't load for accuracy necessarily. As far as brass cleaning, I think ultrasonic cleaning brass is a waste of time and completely unecessary. I prefer stainless pin wet tumbling because I don't like the dust that dry tumbling...

  19. Tumbler vs. sonic cleaner

    Corn cob/Walnut/lizard cage media in a dry tumbler is cheap and works for many. I don't like the dust it lets off, though so I prefer wet tumbling. If you want to explore wet tumbling...harbor freight rock tumbler $45, stainless pins $20, dawn dish soap and LemiShine $4. Cleanest brass you've...

  20. Tumbler vs. sonic cleaner

    If you want to get cases super shiny and ultra clean, wet tumble with stainless pins is the route to go.
