    I don't think I have that much 223, but damned if I'm not right behind you. I went over to RJ's last Monday and annealed all the stuff I'm prepping for long distance loads, 556 LC, 6.5 Grendel, 308 Win. I have about 10 more gallons of mixed 223 brass to prep for general 55gr loading. Ugh, and 300 and bla bla bla. The winter grind.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    This stuff isnt mine. A local shooter asked me to process it for him.

    I got this idea to convert a cement mixer into a tumbler that will take 5 gal buckets. Fill the bucket a third to half with brass, fill with ground walnut, spin a lid on, lock it into the mixer and turn it on. It would take cleaning mass amounts of brass down to a couple hours instead of a couple days.
    Ever seen it done?

    I know bigger companies use cement mixers to polish loaded ammo.

    Dont know why you couldnt grab a Harbor Freight mixer and use it.

    The plastic drum ones at lowes, cost more. But easier on brass, especially if one is looking to earn "cash back" from their investment
