Well I came in from work took a little break, and was about to sit down and decide what I was going to load.
Well just about then the phone rang, and it's my ole neighbor that moved off to Kansas a few years back.
We jawed a while, and by that time I said the heck with it.

Oh well, tomorrow's another day.

For a long time I would put my brass in an old sock tie off the end and trough it in with my laundry.
LOL!
I did this in the past myself and in reality it's not too bad.

For me however sparkling clean brass gives me a bit more 'positive mental attitude' about reloading - along with the fact I tend to have more prepped brass ready to go than I actually reload for and it just looks much better in the clear plastic jugs I store it in!

And, another advantage to pin tumbled brass is it comes out slicker than snot and cycles a little 'smoother' through the rifles.

Got 50 pcs. of Starline 45/70 brass primed, flared, ready for powder & bullets. Maybe work some of it in tomorrow, in between outside work, and laundry. A man's work is never done. I think that's the way that old saying goes.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Yep - and many still on the shelves.

Lot's of 9mm at my LGS the other day but most gone due to the incredible sale price of $8.99 a box.

Heck I actually saw SPPs on the shelf today!

Good to see you back 6MT. Those .357 rounds look good. Nice set up you have there.
