What did you do at your reloading bench today?

I'd appreciate hearing any comments you'd care to share on the tumbler shown in the picture of your green and red bullets

Jim, it's really pretty simple.
First and foremost is good quality paint, I get mine from a guy over on castboolits, his handle is Smoke.
Then a plastic container, I use an old one gallon jug that came with pretzels in.
Put a handful 50,60 air soft pellets in the jug with a little powdered paint, (don't really take a lot.)
Close the lid, shake, stir the mix for a minute or so, drop bullets in, close lid and shake, stir for another minute.
Then I pour onto a large space screen, then I put in a small toaster oven I found at the Goodwill store for next to nothing.
350° for 20 minutes.
I run them through the sizer before and after coating.
Hope that helps.

Sized, trimmed & tumbled about 50 .30-30 - UPDATE - finally got to use the handle I made for my Lee case trimmer shell holder - works great!

Cuts trimming time by about 1/2 due to not having to fiddle with the little holder. The handle makes the Lee case holder now an easy to use tool!

AND ordered 500 9MM 124 grain Plated RN bullets from Xtreme - heck even with shipping they end up being less than what I pay locally for 250 round boxes!

sorry, I did a poor job of asking what I was trying to ask .. .. I was referring to what looks like it a Franklin Arsenal case tumbler

Thanks Randy looks just like mine. I was having some issues yesterday with a certain round I have loaded. Im not sure if its the way there loaded or not but its only with that round and that bullet all others function flawlessly. Thanks for taking the time to do that for me appreciate it alot.

Sorry Jim, probably me, lol.
The tumbler I just recently acquired, using Dawn dish washing soap and the SS pins they come clean,
in quick order. Midway had it on sale and I found the pins cheaper on e bay.

all of my casing cleaners I have used have been vibrators using walnut shells .... I've been thinking about looking at something like yours to add to our portable setup .... I can see a distinct advantage in not having to pack media .... then for what I do, I can see just wiping the outside of the case with lube and loading it without other cleaning
