Quote HistoryQuoted: I love my reloads to have very shiny brass. I had some in the tumbler for hours and found a live one when done. Ticking time bomb |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why bother? Stained bread shoots the same as shiny brass. Quite true. If I use lube, it is a water based lube and I wash it off prior to reloading. I've been reloading since the 70s and have never tumbled my brass. Mine are stained and dark brown, unless the brass is nickle plated, then they are shiny. None of my guns have eyes to see. They don't know the difference between shiny and stained, they all shoot the same. People were reloading long before tumblers came around. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it? I hope your joking. Let me ask you a serious question: Suppose that you have an electric hotplate, on which is a steel plate. Upon that plate is a random .45 cal cartridge of any brand that uses a brass case, primer ( large or small, Magnum or standard), propellant normally considered 'gun powder', and a projectile of any commonly used type; be it jacketed, full metal jacket, total metal jacket, lead, hard lead pure copper, black talon, or ranger tallon. Now, the plate is set to 320 degF. What do you expect to happen to the case, primer, projectile, the plate, and the immediate environment? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It's your funeral Is it?

If a round somehow went off in your tumbler, I doubt you would notice it. Hatcher conducted a series of experiments electrically detonating live rounds to simulate one going off in a shirt pocket, he concluded that if a 30-06 went off in your pocket, it might leave a bruise.
