Spent primers are still in the cases and should be removed before beginning the reloading process

[GeoDudeFlorida]

A lot of reloading processes are personal preferance and "decapping first vs clean first" is one. I normally quickie inspect then throw my brass in my rotary (clean not polish) then reload. Wet tumblers quite often decap first, as noted above, but for dry tumbling it's six of one half dozen of another...

The only reason I tumble in plain corn cob media before handling is to keep the carbon and lead dust off my fingers. Call me a neat freak but I learned from being a machinist, cleanliness is what keeps you out of the Emergency Room.

Probably. Before the current "crisis," I was seeing that same caution ("not loaded ammunition") on the shelves of bullets in more than one sporting goods store.
BTW, even my wife read the original post and said, "Warnings like that are on packages nowadays because there are so many idiots out there, and that's frightening!"

My wife's a quilter - well, she was before arthritis made it too painful. Several years back she bought a Rowenta steam iron. She was looking over the instructions and burst out laughing, showed me the warning label, then the box label. "Warning! Never iron clothes on the body."

You havent watched some of the "smart people" challenges on the internet then have you. Like eating Tide Pods and the like.

I flip them over, the other side hasn't been dented yet and is still good.

I try to avoid “smart people” on the internet.

I also like to clean my brass in my rotaty before processing because it helps keep the primer dust/carbon/etc. off my press. The primer dust/resudue can be very abrasive...

She may be smarter than we think. No way she will be suspended or blamed for shooting the perp in this case.
Yeah just when I get things figured out the rug gets jerked out from under me. SMH

You are assuming they can find a gun-savvy judge and/or twelve people who would know the difference. And if there were one that did, they just might keep their mouth shut for whatever reason.

But the real question is... which came first, the birth defects or the belief that everything causes birth defects. Personally, I think being in California for a prolonged period of time causes brain damage or something, judging by what's happening out there.

Back to the thread...



When I was reloading shotshell, I decided to run a handful of AA hulls through my vibratory loaded with walnut. Things did not turn out well... the static generated by the plastic hull made any minute crumb of anything cling to the hull like glue.

Might have to try shotgun hulls next time I powder coat.

I took the decaping pins out of my sizing dies.
As far as warnings, my personal favorite, on a bag of peanuts: “May contain peanuts”

As soon as you think you’ve idiot proofed something they just make better idiots.
