I have used "pam" cooking spray the last few days on 300WM, 22-250,6MM remington, forming 5.7 johnson out of 30 carbine, 270, 30-06,243, 223 and forming 17/223 ackley out of 223 cases, it worked well for all. I did have a few lube dents when I got too much on them, but after blowing out die...

Well its all my fault , I now rinse my pins after each use , I do not add any simple green , I do add more Dawn and more water and a little more lemishine, Came out bright , so I did it on the next 10 loads, each load only tumbling for 1hr.45 min each. I only rinse in cold water from a...

Thanks Pete, NCSmitty, I totally understand your point, its not like I am ignorant or have no money to buy componets or ammo, its because its fun. At one time I played golf, flew airplanes and skied, I play with things that interests me. Right now this does , but like all things it...

Pete I was mistaken about the powder I have I have old lots of Unique and 2400, also some newer IMR4227 What would I use and how much to fire form the 303 brass. Ron

Yes did the same each time, will try covering it full of water. and using hot water, and then without lemishine and then without Simple green. yes I rinse well , I dont rinse all pins , only the ones that make it from the tumbler to the sifter bucket. Will let you know. Ron

Thank you Pete D. Will let you know how it worked. Ron

I made a wet tumbler because I had an old rubber lined drum. It works very well. The first 2 batches of brass I tumbled came out great , looked new, ( was old black range brass.) Last few batches I have done are clean but not bright like before. My tumbler tumbles slow and quiet...

Red Dot was all the fast powder I had on hand and its 20 years+ old , but has been stored well. The 303 brass has been deprimed and cleaned and checked for fit in my old Savage, it closed on all of it. I dont have to pack the grits in it or seperate it in the case? ( instant Grits is what...

fireform the 303 I have a pound of old Red Dot, could I use it to fireform the 303? If so, how may grains do you think would be safe, and do I use a wad or powder card between the red dot and the grits? Ron

Best case lube for cleaned cases? Spray, roll on? What do you think is best? Ron

Paper and plastic are good, I use them too, but there is something about a bandoleer or Brass Shotgun ammo that says you mean business.:what: Nice in a SxS loaded with buckshot.:) Ron

yea, I dont take it off the rear , the drill and file method from the front. I use pistol Pimers anyway. Ron

The reason I dont make it is because there is something about making it yourself. And when you can used fired ( used ) parts its even better. I plan on using the 444 and 303 also to see for myself and use whats avalible. Ron

Good to know, maybe I can find some 9.3 X74r brass? RT

Anyone ever make brass hulls form 444 marlin, 303, or 9.3X74r cases? How difficult was it? RT
