Re: What Did You Do In The Reloading Room This Week?
Gathering up some primers and shot for a Thursday trade for 22 rf, I have been very lucky so far doing this, I stocked up very well on components over a year ago when I could all the indicators were plainly visible to what was coming in Nov.

Something for you to try: tumble with media add 1-2 capfuls of Hoppe's #9 you will have nice clean brass and smells great.
If you shoot a bolt gun from a bench keep a patch with #9 on it and wipe the necks as soon as they are fired they just wipe clean, it really makes cleaning much faster. Most of my rifles are tight neck wildcats I also keep a brass brush and clean the id also it really cuts the tumble time way down. Even been known to keep 00 or 000 steel wool there also it all helps a lot.
If your bench shooting or as I was hunting prairie dogs all day long keep 2 pcs of a light colored bath towel about 2" wide 2-3 " shorter than your barrel less brake if you have one, if needed rubber band muzzle end, keep wet in ice chest alternating them just lay on barrel this eliminates heat waves and with double your shots as far as barrel temp. Also a spray bottle of alcohol with work but not as well.
