What did you do in the reloading room today?

Nice. I?ll give that a try. Thanks for the idea.

I may have to give the dehydrator thing a try also. My current drying method involves baking them like cookies in the oven.

Throw them in a laundry bag, then in the dryer for 15 min, or so.

Lay them on a cookie sheet, place in oven set at 150 for 2 hours.

At least, that my winter/cloudy day plan.

Summer time I just lay them in the sun for a couple hours.

Yep, but not too hot or they'll tarnish and change color.

I usually individually clothespin them to the laundry wire, opening down.

Happy to share. The idea isn't original with me, I am sure, but it makes dealing with the brass on down the line so much nicer.

I bought my dehydrator for $5 bucks at ARC (I think). Turns out it's a $50 model from Wal-mart, but it holds the same amount of brass that the tumbler does, heats it to 160, and has a timer that I set for 2 hours.

My wife tolerates a lot from me, but I don't know that this would be approved...

As you should.

Your shop doesn't have it's own dryer?

Shop? Not on this piece of property. This is all in my garage.

Next piece of property? Definitely going to have a shop. Too many projects...


Reloading room thread:
2k of 223/556 washed, with the third in the tumbler now. So much brass to clean/process...

Currently building a wet tumbler. Objective is to do it on the cheap. Lot of interesting designs on youtube.
