    Tim, your rifle is backwards.

    Seriously, though, I finally spent some time prepping a bunch of .308. The "good day" at the range yesterday inspired me. I already had lots of .308 prepped to various states of readiness, but had to bring it all up to "ready to load".

    I was done in 20 minutes, but that's an interesting thought.

    Backwards rifle is an advanced technique.

    A friend of mine gave me a 20mm ammo can full of GI 9x19 brass.

    Unfortunately there was some moisture in the bottom of the can and it stayed sealed for a long time.

    So... the brass was really skunky. Not only did it smell bad but it was heavily tarnished.

    I tumbled it all clean these past few days and ran it through my roll sizer. I then ran it all through my 1050 to recap it and swage out the primer crimp.

    Today I was able to get about 1/4 of it tumbled in stainless media to make it look as good as new again.

    Then I got everything ready for tomorrows Tactical Rifle Match.

I also do all bullet seating with a little Lee press mounted to a board and attached with clamps. I dragged my crap to the range to do some testing with a new bullet. It all just worked perfectly. I saved myself at least one and maybe two trips back home to load something up I didn't have along.

    Awesome! I've had some 300blk bullets that I need to work up a load for and the back and forth has kept them sitting on the bench for over a month.

    Here is an example of before and after. Now that they are clean I can go through and cull out any damaged brass.

    Before. This is *after* a 3 hour trip in corncob media.





    After. 2 hours in stainless media.

    Wow...
    That could make a fella reconsider the cost and hassle of a SS media set-up.

    Good work, as always.

    SS is the way to go. Less hassle once you get your routine down. IMHO cheaper over the long term. Less lead dust from opening the vibrator. Finally, a better product in less time.
