Brass and powder question

Lupinus- When you get ready to start tumbling your brass, you will probably have alot of questions like I did concerning what media to use. I came here and someone suggested using Rice and guess what? IT WORKED GREAT!!

I made my own tumbler using a small electric motor with a counter weight attached to the shaft to make it vibrate, mounted it on a 5 gallon bucket and put a 5 qt plastic ice cream container on it (eating the ice cream was the best part) It did a good job BUT, I wanted something better so when someone junked a washing machine, I couldn't resist. I took the agiator out and replaced it with a paddleboard, I also sealed all the drain holes with a lot of pop rivets I had, and filled the tub with 40 pounds of rice. I have the choice of speeds I want to use and it works great. I went out to where I shoot and talked the owner into letting me pick up all the 9mm brass that I can find, and I did 5,000 rounds the other night, so it's about time I bought a progressive press :banghead:

So what did you think of the book?

BTW, your story reminds me of another library experience. Usually if you reserve a book they call a leave a message that says "the book you reserved, ABCs of reloading, is in and will be held for a week". I reserved parliament of whores, a PJ O'Rourke book about politicians. The message said "the book you reserved, pa...ahhh, is in and will be held for a week". Doesn't take much to amuse me I guess.

WHAT??!!!!!??????
