I made some .357 rounds that didn't pass Quality Control, so I took 'em apart with the impact bullet puller. Happens. You know that the powder and the bullet drop into the end of the chamber in the green plastic hammer, so you pour that stuff out and dismantle another round.
In order to make life easier, I appropriated a couple of items from the kitchen: a couple of Tupperware containers and a strainer to separate the bullets from the powder.
My wife strolled in as I was doing that, saw what I was using, and flipped. She informed me in detail and at length of her views on using food-prep items at the reloading bench.
Moral: think long and hard before repurposing other people's tools. I now have my very own strainer. And she has a brand-new one.
(My wife is very easy-going about most things. Others, not so much.)
