Ultra sonic is a waste of time money effort and just about everything else. Wet tumbler is gonna get you very clean with extra effort and expense. Dry gets that shine. Now plenty will tell us here that wet gets that shine and to an extent it does but fine cob with polish..... shiny. I wet tumble...

Well.... honestly I forgot the cases were in the tumbler again. You'd think I was twice my age. When I remembered them last night I went in and ran the unit for about 20 minutes then checked the cases. Apparently the cob dried out and came right out. Not a bit still stuck. So I suppose the...

Primers. Small pistol and large. I got caught with my pants down this time. I'm down to my last 300 small pistol. I'm out of 9mm bullets which seem to be available but do I buy 500 or do I just use my last 300 primers in the small primer 10 cases because I have bullets on hand? In '08 I had 8k...

So last night I popped out some primers. 10mm. Boom easy peasy. Dropped them in the tumbler. Ran it awhile. Get up this morning. Run a huge batch of 9mm in the wet tumbler. Separate the pins and set cases out to dry. Then I pop them in the tumbler (I know I just like em shiny). Realized...

I've used small, small mag and small rifle interchangeably in 9mm, 40 and small primer 10s. I've been running small mag because that is all I have left and we all know how acquiring anything has been lately

I religiously clean after every range trip. Period. The Army told me if it wasn't issued dirty dont bring it back dirty. That said, when I made it to a point in my career when I carried an M9 rather than M16/4 I found most of them to be filthy. Damn seniors doing whatever they want. Lol

Little more than a few hundred apart in my book. I would walk away on this deal.

I feel ya regarding the indoor range. It can get busy which is not a fun environment to shoot in. I much prefer shooting outdoor ranges but the nearest one is well over an hour dive away with stupid high range fees. Since losing all my supplies and equipment to Hurricane Michael in 18 I've been...

I won't beat this horse. Its dead and thats that. I will say this however, nice shooting.

Florida Panhandle.... Ranger Firearms. Lots of Alliant, Accurate, Winchester and VV powders in stock. Large Rifle primers. I dont know if they ship or sell online. I dont think they have an actual website. Just FYI for Florida locals I suppose.

So I'm here is the redneck riviera. Panama City. I'm wondering if any of our members shoot competitively. Years ago I did shoot a little steel and bullseye but nothing in the last 10 years at least. I'm not a member of any organization or club aside from NRA. I wouldn't even know where to start...

Might be a touch heavy with the lemishine. I typically use a .3cc dipper of lemishine in the platinum size wet tumbler. After my cases are dry I still dry tumble to polish them. Extra step and unnecessary but I like shiny things.

Hmmm. Sacrilegious. I can respect the notion of saving small primers but why not buy a 10 and reduce the load to 40 power if you "need" to shoot 40. 10mm brass isn't easy to find and when I can it isn't cheap.

To answer your question and get back on the topic. I have done recently exactly what your inquiring about. I've found testing large pistol magnum in 10mm vs standard. Small pistol magnum vs standard in 9mm. I have recently tested small pistol magnum in small primer'd 10mm because thats a thing...

So the other day I was curious. I'm always curious and willing to learn a new thing. So a quick Google search revealed several results. Primers reloaded using snap cap compound. You know, them little red rings of popping doodads we played with as kids. Do any of you have experience with this...
