  • how many rounds do you have there. I am in the process of making my own, unsure of the media to brass ratio.

  • how much money do you get when you recycle the 5 gal bucket?

  • @rage801 Around here its enough to buy some 2 winchester bags of .308 and 1 of .223. I get more when I strickly put .40 in one bucket and rifle brass in another. Less air in the pistol bucket and more in a rifle case. Which in turns more weight.

  • how do you reload 7.62 x 54 rimmed? I thought those were berdan primed and a pain in the ass to de-prime.

  • Most are berdan primed. I recommend buying Norma brass. They've got both 7.62x54R and 7.62x53R.

  • glad that u found a bad brass...good vid

  • I use a Lee handloader to first remove the primers.

    I use 1/3 walnut, 2/3 corn and polish for a medium.

    Prior to tumbling brass I slowly add drops of the polish into the medium while the tumbler is running in order to prevent globs of saturated medium.

    I use an inexpensive electric timer switch on my tumbler so that the tumbler will shut off automatically.

    I'll tumble my brass for at least 8 hours and with the primers removed prior to tumbling the primer pockets come out pretty much clean.

  • Correction: My prior post I stated that I use a Lee handloader. What I meant to say is handpress

  • nice find on that split shell

    thanks for the info, im about to start reloading and i will defenatly check my casings before and after tumbling :)

    thanks for posting

  • That was kind of luck to find one like that especially on video. It does help on stressing the point of checking the brass. Thanks.

  • trying to empty the gun powder out them shells, to make a necklace or tire nobby any thoughts message me if anybody no's

  • thats a bad idea. you could set the powder off if you're not careful. besides, u dont wanna wear that cheap metal on your neck anyways

  • Ok I am getting a Tumbler in the next day or two and have been looking for a few months. I cant find much difference with a $129.00 a $58.00 and now a $29.00. All are 110v, all are the same size and hold the same MAX amount of cases. All are on the 3 bearing Vibration. So my question is you get what you pay for, but do I really need to by the Top end or will any case cleaner do.

  • I've had that same Frankford Arsenal for 2 yrs and it was $29.99 when I bought it. No complaints on it so far.

  • How long do you polish?

  • I usually let the tumbler run for an hour. No more than two. I sometimes use treated media and it cuts it down to usually one hour. The media used here is untreated crushed walnut that is just used to clean the brass. It won't polish but it cleans the carbon around the brass case and especially around the case neck.

  • G'day mate, I just started shooting not too long ago and your channel is just what I needed, easy step by step guides on hand loading and the other tricky bits that I just couldn't find out, great shit, keep it up.

  • Thanks!

  • Just curious, do you live close to the freeway?

  • Yep! gets interesting when I have to clean my rifles out back!

  • thanks for the info!!
