DOH! I shoulda bought your 20 year supply! I'm not quite ready to convert to stainless tumbling as I'm not yet convinced the extra tumble/dry step is worth it, even for precision rifle shooting. I think I'd rather invest in an annealer first. Well, actually, I'd rather invest in an FFL so I can make post-samples. _________________ Adventure Protection: Women-only basic protection, home defense, firearm instruction Follow us on Facebook Or join us for a class! |

Got some corn cob from a blast supplier down on the Dawamish a year ago out the door with fifty pounds for $31 and change. I don't think I'm ever going to get through that bag.

Just ordered a bag, thanks!
 The shipping was $5, not free, but it still comes out to barely $30 for a 40 pound bag. _________________ Massivedesign wrote: There is no such thing as 5.56 55gr.. |

6-8 hours?! You could tumble them in mud for 6-8 hours and they'd come out clean.
 That is some nice-looking brass, though. I'll give you that. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.
