Quote:"Think about electric power. Global warming.
Think again about wiping cases off by hand.
And, MOST IMPORTANT. Think about you attaching a hand crank to your vibrator.
How long is this going to take you?
We maybe "green shooters?" " Quote End....
billp,
Let me get this straight.... You’re a "Green Shooter" Because you wipe off your cases and do not use any electricity.... However, every round you create uses electricity somewhere. How where the Bullets, Primers, Cases, Powder, etc... Created? They all used power/electricity someplace. What about the light bulb and heat you use in your re-loading area? Every round you fire is probably more of a detriment to the environment than the little bit of electricity your tumbler could use. Exposed lead, powder residual, carbon monoxide, etc...
As the pendulum swings, your argument has gone too far off center. It's is a bit too early for April Fool's Day... Don't you think?
Let me ask you this.... When you wash your car, do you just wipe off the mud and dirt or do you use water and soap? If you just wipe off the dirt, the finished would be ruined. Use soap and water, your not being "Green" to the environment. Does a clean car effect its operation? Not really, as long as it is maintained. But a clean car sure looks nice and shows pride of ownership. I look at tumbling my brass the same as nice clean car.
So you can continue to wipe your brass. I'll continue to be happy with my clean brass....
