The basics on how I reload part B

Removing media and brass from tumbler. Then removing media from brass with RCBS rotary sifter. I do not throw away bad brass. I wait until the defective brass fills a 5 gallon bucket and turn them in to metal recyclers and buy new brass with it.

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.

[sierrareloader]

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

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

[sierrareloader]

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.

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

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

[Mardasee]

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.
