Reloading Supplies

Cleans brass cases well.

As far as affordable vibrating tumblers go, this one works great for cleaning brass cases. With crushed walnut media, you get a lot of dust. Walnut media cleans well but the brass doesn't come out shiny. There's almost no dust with crushed corn cob media and it cleans well too and the brass comes out shiny. If you want it polished, add some polish. The cases come out clean using either dry media. If you remove primers prior to cleaning, the primer holes won't be as clean as using wet media with steel pins and little pieces of the dry media get stuck in the primer pocket and flash holes. They are easily removed with a small pin punch or compressed air.

Always have a Lyman manual.

I've been hand loading ammo for 42 years and I've always had an up to date Lyman manual on my bench. Why? Lyman included loads for cast lead bullets where many other manuals do not. The last several Lymans, including this one, have been printed in the large 8 1/2 x 11 page. Orange highlights the max loads in every caliber so there's little chance of misreading or misinterpreting load data. A favorite rifle caliber of mine to reload for, .308 Winchester, shows 12 jacketed bullets and 7 cast lead bullet loads. In .45 Auto using a 200 gr cast SWC, the manual lists 20 separate powder loads. Page 12 through page 85 walks the new reloaded through the entire process, step by, step using large color photos and very specific information. I always read through these chapters as there's usually a pointer or two that I pick up on that I haven't been aware of previously. New calibers listed included the .300 Blackout, 6.5 x 284 Norma, and the 6.5 Grendel, among others.

Digital Scale Works Great

The other day I was about to start reloading and well, I wasn’t sure if my balance scale was giving me an accurate reading. It’s a Redding and was made awhile ago, probably as old as my car but not as old as my guitar. It’s a Gibson. It’s a really good guitar and I generally mess around with some jazz stuff on it. It’s pretty good for just about any style of music, but I’m getting a bit old to be playing rock nowadays. So anyway I was heading down to get some fertiliser for my tomatoes, and thought , what if my balance scale is off a little? Maybe I should get a digital scale and compare the two. So I got some fertiliser, and some blood and bone, I’m not sure if dynamic lifter is any good once they’re planted, the tomatoes, the last lot I planted didn’t go so well. I think maybe they needed more sun. I planted them a while back when it was cooler. Maybe it’s best to wait until things warm up a bit. It’s spring now so I’m hoping to get a good yield, the Italians say tomatoes are good for your prostate or something , I don’t know about that, we never talked about those things back in my day. So I got home and decided to get on the inter webs and purchase a digital scale. So I could compare it to my balance scale. It’s a Redding. It’s pretty old, older than my car. The digital scale seems to work really well, it’s easy to use and has proven my old balance scale accurate. And my powder thrower as dodgy as I thought it was. Git some
