Ditto. That's one of the reason I have the Lee Classic Loaders.same way I do now
Yep.Just wipe up the brass, clean out the primer pocket, and you are ready to reload. I did this for years, before I bought my first tumbler. I already use a beam scale, so no elect. needed.
When I first started that's the way I did it, untill I threw the dipper away! .44 mag, loaded with IMR 4227. Just scoop the case full, place a bullet on top, and cruch it down. Works fine!Wow, I might have to go to using a rag, chamfering tool for crimped pockets and a dipper for powder.
I let my wife take care of her own bras. I generally dont clean them at all.....that's why a beam scale and a set of dial calipers is still a good thing.
bras can be cleaned by hand...
THIS ^^^^^Well, I reloaded for 12 years before I got a tumbler and didn't wear out any dies and could spot all the defects. In 30 years of reloading I ain't swaged a primer pocket. I have three beam scales but only one digital scale so it wouldn't matter if the batteries die. I also use plain old dial calipers and an analog micrometer. My only problem (if you could call it that) is my casting pot wouldn't be much good w/o power, but I do have 15-18 gallons of propane, and live near a bunch of trees so I could just build a fire...![]()
