Re: Best brass cleaning equipment?

As others have mentioned go with a stainless steel tumbler. I own a dry media tumbler, an ultrasonic cleaner and a SS tumbler, I experimented with all 3 of the cleaners and the clear winner is the SS media tumbler. This is the tumbler I use, and it is in stock: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shootin...

Re: Over pressure on moderate loads

I know this have been covered on here, my experienced is that the PMC brass that I was using would pass on the Sheridan case unloaded, but once I have loaded a bullet in them it would not pass the Sheridan gauge. Curious if this is the case of the over pressure?

Re: What happened here?

This is where this tool comes in, it is a must for reloaders, I had used this tool on more than one occasion, not necessarily this brand, just an example.

Re: Are we causing our own grief?

The reason we are not "seeing anything" is because of all the back-orders. Websites, etc. get shipments in, and 100% of it goes to fill back-orders, and to us who don't have a back-order with that particular store, it's like they aren't getting anything in, as it stays OOS on their site w...

Re: Very unhappy with blackoutbrass.com -- final update in O

The brass actually looks pretty good, primers pockets are decently cleaned, not sparkly cleaned. I have randomly tested 10 cases and the length are all within spec, I will be running them through my sizing die again anyway, the same thing I have done to the cases I have ordered from other sellers.

Re: Very unhappy with blackoutbrass.com -- final update in O

3 days shy of 6 months, the brass I ordered on 20 December 2012 finally arrived today, this is after interacting with them through e-mails numerous times, I did not want a refund as they have suggested. I told them I want the brass I ordered. I was not in a hurry for this brass order. So just a word...

Re: Sierra 125 SMK in stock at midway

This is the response I received from Sierra: Hello, You could use at least three of those powders for sure. The H110 or 296 could use a start load of 17 grains and Viht N110 could use a start load of 15 grains and work up to your guns accuracy, as long as you are not seeing pressure signs with your ...

Re: Christmas in June!!!

I too have been receiving my back-ordered items ordered a month ago. Primers, powders and bullets are slowly arriving, the good news is, I paid for these items with normal pricing. The most surprising was the CCI#41 primers I ordered a less than a month ago, I was not expecting this item to be shipp...
