I got the 500 .223 cases that I wet pin cleaned and dried yesterday all annealed today.
Do you find that pins can get stuck in the flash holes?
No sir, I've never had that happen.

I've had it happen on 9mm & 40 S&W. Dont recall any on rifle brass.

I was going to tumble about 2,000 45ACP and 45 Colt the other day. I hit a snag on my 1st load, the belt broke on the Thumbler Tumbler. Of course, didn't have a replacement. I ordered a bag of 10 belts online. They came in this PM. Replaced the belt and poured out the cold water and put hot water and Lemminshine and Dawn back. Now I'm back in business. Only took 5 days for USPS to get from NC to TX. Package was unmolested!

Well, I was going to say I had some extra belts I would let you have, but I probably couldn't beat that time. LOL. Unusual for USPS to
be that quick.
Have fun, enjoy your day.

Put primers in 100 pcs Starline 45/70 brass this pm. Waiting on the weather to cooperate , especially wind, so I can shoot my experimental loads I've got ready. Looks like this make be a while, weather getting worse, not better. Oh well, only a couple more months 'til spring weather. LOL.

Ive been tumbling, sizing, trimming and putting primers in brass whole week after work. Always tries to make all these timeconsuming work offseason so I can focus on rangetime and hunting when in season. :D

I've been doing boring stuff like reorganizing my reloading supplies. Counting bullets and finding some reasonable storage solution (which still eludes me). I'm going to get some cheap plastic ammo cans from Harbor Freight to store them in. Floor space is limited, so I need some type of cabinet or shelves that can hold the weight of a bunch of lead.

If you have the wall space, build yourself some shelves or cabinets.
