The pig Strikes Again!!

Mike told me to watch my mailbox a few days ago and today I received a decent sized package. Opened her up and BAM!!!!!! Check it out!!

Thank you my Friend, I really appreciate this gift!

I will now search for some media.... nanner

Good Deal! I got surprised also:).

Is that how Lisa is going to keep your "marbles" clean???? funny funny

Good job pig, you're a helluva guy!!!

Here's some tips:

Use walnut...you can get it from lots of places, including Lizard Litter from Petsmart...just make sure it's all crushed walnut

Cut a USED dryer sheet into quarters, and throw those along with one capfull of NuFinish car wax (in the orange bottle) in and let it tumble until the clumping stops before you add brass. Shines the brass, holds the dust down, and keeps the media cleaner longer. Make sure you put a used dryer sheet in each time.

Don't decap before tumbling unless you like cleaning media out of primer pockets and flash holes.

Since your girl has possesion of your testicles, I imagine you do the sewing :p. Either make a cloth cover to fit the slotted lid, or just go to dollar general and find a cheap plastic bowl whose bottom diameter matches the lid, drill a hole in it and use it to cover the slots. JUST the bottom to cover the lid...don't use the whole bowl and cover the unit and burn up the motor. Since you're loading inside this will keep the lead and media dust from getting everywhere. I don't bother, since I load in the shed, and the lead dust may help me expire and escape sooner.

Enjoy, Roach boy...no excuses left. Get busy

Caleb also add 1/4 of white rice saves on crushed walnut media and is cheap.

Perfect advice! Nice gift I have the lyman largest one they have or somedarn thing and its awesome. Love my little vibratorymachinethingie. Nice nice nice!!

Very nice gift. pig's on a rollnanner

I like to do it when I can. It's nice to come here and moderate a place with good folks after dealing with college students, peckerheads and that woman

Not an issue.

The decapping pin on the sizing die takes care of any media stuck in the flash holes. If you use a decent media separator there won't be any in the primer pocket.

Thanks for the tips guys, looks like it's time for a trip to Harbor freight.

Harbor Freight is where I got my electric cement mixer, also know as my tumbler. :D


Nice gift, Mike......you're showing some style, scarin' me.

Nice. Mike's a good guy

So you're saying you deprime/decap +size and then do it again after tumbling to remove any media stuck in the flash hole?

Wait what? Maybe I'm missing something from the above statement from DrH? Please enlighten me.

Not sure what dies you are using, but with RCBS, the decapping die and sizing die are all in one. If you decap/deprime and size then tumble, you will indeed get media in the flash hole and will need a toothpick/needle to remove said media. While it's one thing I haven't done in regards to reloading, a few members here have and they've stated what a PIA it is to remove the media.

My Lee dies do both at the same time, deprime and resize.

Very nice, you da man Mike !!

Nice gift pig! Way to go. Enjoy Caleb

So there's a 2 Step process when using the the Lee dies, decapping and sizing are done separately? That's a bummer, especially if you have to use ithe decapper again to remove media.

Sorry to hear that Dr H.

Nope my dies decap and size at the same time unless I take the pin out

Same here.

Congrats on the new tumbler Caleb!!

Mike is a class act kind of guy!! By the way Mike, I am looking at a new Z/28...........wanna buy it for me!!! Ha!!!!:D

Soon as you send me some test guns :p
