Getting back in to reloading.... - The Firearms Forum

etcher1 · 03-22-2012, 06:26 PM

Hi all,
It's been about 27 years since I reloaded anything. So I am trying to get started again. I been lurking around the forum for a little while and got some great ideas how to set my stuff up.

I made a tumbler after looking at other diy projects, it works fairly well.

Here's the end result, The brass is 20+years old.

Hopefully I will learn a lot and be able to bring other things to the table.

Hello I also am thinking of getting into reloading, what did you use to make your tumbler with?

Neat job on the tumbler, looks to work really well.
