Took a look at the four buckets (13-14K) of 223 I have to process in the next couple weeks. Loaded up on coffee and got to work.

Do you have any of the motors on your 1050s? Or are you pulling the handle yourself?

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?

Jerry does it.

Found my brass. Sized 50 cases. Had bigger plans but life happened.

Q for the reloaders. I goofed and sized some of my 38spl cases .010 below min trim to length. Bullets and loads work fine but its a pain to have two different lengths.
Toss the shorties, trim all of the brass short or just put short ones in the backup pile. Fairly sure I don't want to deal with two different lengths.

I tried a PW autodrive a few years back. Didnt like it. Now it runs my roll-sizer.

Just me pulling the handle.

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

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

I think it?s rondog on here that uses the liquid and stainless pins and does large batches in a cement mixer. I think he even posted a video of it in action.

I sold him a mixer. I want to see it in action.

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