I really think we can trust this guy this time. #grownostr #plebchain #democracy

Slow your roll. The week is just starting. #grownostr #plebchain

Moving through the next step. I’m using an Annealeez annealer. First time I’ve used it for brass this big. I’d like to get another torch to speed it up. How do you anneal? #annealing #handloading #reloading #brass #brassprep #grownostr #plebchain

Wow. Wikipedia is getting pretty intense. #grownostr #plebchain

I wet tumbled my brass using a Harbor Freight rock polisher, triangular media with dish soap and citric acid (just a good pinch). I tumbled the brass for an hour. The chip media is a lot more aggressive than the pins and cleans quickly and over tumbling is a thing. I dump the brass/media into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse. I then dump it into the media separator (Frankford Arsenal) which is the blue thing in the five gallon bucket which I have filled with warm water and armor all wash and wax (very cheap soap). After I separate the media out I dump the brass back in the strainer and rinse them off. Then I put them on a towel in the oven to dry off. What questions do you have about this process and our equipment? How would you do it? #handloading #reloading #brass #wettumbling #tumbling #grownostr #plebchain

There’s no pleasing some people. #grownostr #plebchain

Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt; it works! People like to hear your thoughts. Everything is so impersonal these days. Knowing you thought about it and knowing what it means to you as value to what you share. #grownostr #plebchain View quoted note →

GM Nostr!! #meaning #grownostr #plebchain

Decapped my 1x fired brass. I’m using an old “The Precision Reloader” press and a Lee universal decapping die. Depriming brass is dirty and leaves carbon debris on the press (I’ll post a picture below). I’d rather not have an abrasive like that getting caught up in the ram of my nice press so I keep dirty work on my The Precision. Next step is cleaning the brass. I know some f-class shooters don’t but I’m not introducing variables/new practices while I’m working up a load. What are your thoughts on depriming and cleaning, especially for hunting and precision? #handloading #reloading #gunstr #reloadstr #creed #grownostr #plebchain

The rest of us need each other. #grownostr #plebchain

Time to prep some brass! The ELD-X seem to be a great combination of external (flying through the air) and terminal (doing work inside the target) ballistics (projectile stuff). What bullets do you like for hunting? #hunting #handloading #reloading #loaddev #grownostr #plebchain

Roh, roh! All that stuff in the pan got sucked up into the pickup tube. Not surprising but I’ll need to replace the pickup tube. #carstr #classiccars #grownostr #plebchain
