NEW Lapua Brass is too nice and no fun to reloadI guess a few of us are thinking the same, just got 200 Lapua cases in the mail today
Please don't explain.
200 down 800 to go.
I have yet to run my we tumbler that I bought in August. I finally took it out of the box last weekend. I have to pick up so distilled water.
The. I need to go pick up some of that then.
I use armorall wash and wax with lemi shine in my ultrasonic. I stole this from the wet pin tumblers. I highly recommend this combo. I also agree about the distilled water not being necessary.
I finished up another 100 yesterday. I may do a couple hundred today. If I don't go to the range.

I popped a couple caps this morning with some experimental loads. 223 casings cut down to 762x25 casings loaded with 110 grain 30 carbine bullets and H110 powder. Nice and consistent on the chrono. Worked very well considering they were shtf casings with a bullet that is 30 grains heavier than it should be.
Got back from test firing the loads at the range about an hour ago. The snow was coming down and blowing around so much that at times you couldn't see 50 feet let a lone 100 yards. I only needed to ensure function so I waited until I could see the 200 yard line and shot a coupl of rounds off. Everything functioned fine so I will load the rest up this week.

Finally! a thread on .45 vs .009 M
Well 600 down 400 to go.
Well I am up to 1400 loaded with 600 more to go, then I am done with 300 BLK for the winter.
Your lucky, I have to develop a 150 &175gr 30cal loads and .45ACP load
before I start production
Been developing loads for almost 30 years.Your lucky, I have to develop a 150 &175gr 30cal loads and .45ACP load
Ran some 500 (each) 300 BLK cases and 200 (each) 30-06 cases through the wet tumbler last week. Those things came out looking new. Question for those who use dish detergent. When you open your tumbler up is it full of foam? Three hours, just makes them sparkle. after I rinsed and sifted them I set the sorter basket on the heater grate and let them dry over night. I am all set to switch calibers to 30-06 after I finish with the 300 BLK.

Of course.
Yes. Dish detergent and Lemi-shine.
I like the wash and wax with lemi shine the best. That's in an ultrasound cleaner. Regular dish detergent brass would tarnish to quickly for my liking.

I got some when I first bought my stainless tumbler and it worked fantastic. In fact I've never been able to get my brass as clean with detergent and lemi shine. It's a bit too pricey though especially if you do alot of tumbling. Maybe there is a bootleg formula somewhere.
