Congrats on gearing up for reloading! If a pet store nearby grab a bag of the crushed walnut media for your tumbler.
With some brass polish cream mixed in it really shines up your brass without a lot of dust!

good move .... I used a balance beam scale for many years and it worked OK .... a few years ago we purchased a mini digital scale much like the Lyman .... it is a vast improvement
