What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Duman]

Its below zero here right now so my gun room doubles as my indoor shooting range so I shot out the window. I get 40 yards out the window not to bad. If I want to shoot long range I have to go outside and its too damn cold.

The first time I read that to mean you shot out your window during an indoor firing range expedition.....

Well, I took that advice and ran a few hundred rounds of mixed brass through the wet tumbler for a couple of hours without the pins.

They came out way cleaner than I would have imagined.

Now they?re ready to be sized and deprimed then maybe they?ll make a trip back into the tumbler with the pins for a good cleaning inside and out before they get loaded.

Looks good! Did you run lemi-shine in this run as well? Or just the dawn?

Especially for rifle cases, I like the second tumble with pins/chips so that there is no lube left on them for loading. Zero risk of primer/powder contamination that way.

I said I shot out the window not through LOL yes I see your point.

A generous squirt of dish soap and a little squirt of lime juice. That?s pretty much what I normally do.

I haven?t looked inside of the rifle cartridges but the handgun brass is super clean, even on the inside.

They?ll probably still get washed with the pins just so I can get squeaky clean primer pockets.

Loaded up 500 rounds of 9mm so I can enjoy some range time soon.

Going to start on some 38 soon.

Just getting started with reloading and I have a few test loads ready to check next time I get to the range. I'm gonna love this hobby!

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Just think of all the money you're going to save..... BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

[20X11]

Yeah...If I'd have spent all the money I have in reloading stuff over the past 30 years on ammo(when it is cheap), I'd have enough ammo to shoot for the rest of my life. But then all I'd get to do is SHOOT.

I used to be suspect of the money savings. I'm currently making 5.56 for 11 cents a round though which makes me feel like a genius.

[ChickNorris]

I deprimed 1200 of my 6.5 brass. Baby steps.
