How I spent my weekend.

The Duke · 10-05-2011, 03:51 PM

I had a bud give me a 5 gallon bucket about 3/4 full of 9mm brass...So I sit in front of the toobe watching the games, surrounded by plastic bins and a big pan of assorted brass in my lap....

Ah...Military...Kerplunk..into the Military brass bucket...
Hmmmm...Commercial...Keplunk...Into the commercial brass bucket
Aaaahhh...Nickle plated...Twink...into the nickleplated brass bucket
RATS!! ... Corroded to badly....Splank...Into the junk brass bucket
Grrr... .38 Super...How did that get in there...Dink...to the junk bucket

Ive got both vibrators working full time getting them up to a decent level of polishing and cleaning...I will give some to my bud who furnished the brass and keep the rest until I rig thel 650 for 9mm again...

Figure I got about 60% Commercial, 30% Miliatary that will need swaging, and 5-10% Junk.

Nothing better then fiddling with your reloading components during the weekend.
It may not be every weekend for me but I try to spend some time on my components at least every other. Kind of comes in spurts - like when I am running low on a caliber lol
